their families. With assistance from Shettleston Housing Association and Glasgow City Council a suitable site was identified, and funding was secured from the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund to turn the derelict and unloved space into an attractive and productive community allotment. Year after year it has continued to grow and now incorporates a Community Garden and Wild area complete with a pond which attracts lots of wildlife, from newts to hedgehogs. Onsite we have 50 raised beds, a soft fruit area, an herb garden, a polytunnel and composting toilet and also the luxury of a fully working kitchen container complete with electricity and running water. Volunteers to help us maintain the site are welcome to come and join us from March to September each year and help us make a difference in the community. We also have a club for young people aged between 7 and 12 years of age called The Smelly Welly Club which runs from Easter to Halloween each year.

The aim of Finn's Place is to provide opportunities for local residents to improve and enhance their wellbeing through a weekly programme of activities and occasional community events. Wellbeing is when we are living our lives to the full, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. At Finn's Place we support wellbeing in mind, body and spirit. We use the New Economics Foundation 'Five ways to wellbeing' as a guide to all that we offer at Finn's Place. Wellbeing is improved when we Connect with other, Keep learning, Be active, Take notice and Give back.

At ESOL Scotland (formerly Glasgow ESOL Forum), we build language for life. We provide accessible and relevant ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) learning opportunities for adults, supporting integration, employability and personal development. We aim to be a strong voice for ESOL in Scotland. Our ESOL classes welcome refugees & adults from migrant communities. Last year we worked with 658 learners and 60 dedicated volunteers who help us run community classes. We work in partnership with communities organisations to provide opportunities to learn and integrate. This includes a small community gardening project at Knightswood Community Centre.

We are proud to be a charity that is accessible to all, and free from judgement or discrimination. All our Trustees come from varied backgrounds, with 75% from the local area.

All our activities are accessible, not just physically but financially and democratically. All revenue is reinvested back into the charity to provide services tackling poverty and social isolation in the community.

GFPP is a group of public, private and voluntary sector organisations who have come together with one specific objective. We believe that a fairer, healthier, more sustainable and resilient food system would make Glasgow an even better city to live in. We want #GoodFoodForAll and we believe that together we can make it happen. We define ‘good food’ as food that is: vital to the quality of people’s lives in Glasgow. As well as being tasty, healthy, accessible and affordable, our food should be good for the planet, good for workers, good for local businesses and good for animal welfare. Everyone should know where their food comes from, and everyone should understand and celebrate the exciting variety of fresh, nutritious and affordable food available right on their doorstep. We care passionately about our communities, your well-being, and our environment.

We are a community based food project working in North East Glasgow. Our mission is to bring people together through growing, cooking and eating good food.
