Battlefield Community Project began in 2009. It turned a derelict site into a thriving community garden. The community garden welcomes volunteers to grow food, learn about composting and sustainable practises. The project also organises an annual programme of events: community clean ups, street party, lantern parade, ceilidh and carols. The group is run by unpaid volunteers and we welcome anyone to get involved. We aim to create connections within the community and with nature.

SiMY aims to alleviate the mental, physical, and social impact of long-term poverty experienced by young people and their families in the Townhead area of Glasgow, help them recover a sense of agency over their lives, and work with them to achieve their aspirations for themselves and their communities. We run a range of support and development activities for both young people age 8-18, and adults, based on the community garden at Lister Street and further afield. All our activities take place outdoors.

The Whiteinch Centre is a vibrant community hub, delivering activities and improving people's lives through wellbeing activities: training; financial advice; health and wellbeing activities: and employability; empowering local people. We are seeking funding towards project development staff, external trainers, volunteers; and costs to ensure the continued running of services and activities offered. The Centre operates distinct but interconnected projects – The Whiteinch Academy; The Whiteinch Centre food Pantry; Digital Literacy & Volunteer projects as well as General Public Classes, Activities& Room Hire and the provision of warm spaces.

To assist the “Homeless” and others on the pavement, or in hostels, or in the community generally, who are in need of assistance. This may be visually / verbally / writing asking for help, looking like they need assistance or simply presenting as in need of assistance. Assistance comes in the form of our 2 initiatives - the TWALK and the TDROP The TWALK, every Wednesday evening, around the city centre and the west end, provides hot drinks, soup, other foods and warm clothing on a non-judgemental basis for those who present as needing support. And it provides a listening ear for people who find themselves living in isolation and provides information on services and organisations available to assist those in need. The TDROP, promotes the ethos of ‘zero waste’ by working with stores in Glasgow to ensure that any food that they have, due to be disposed of, can be used by the Project. Our TDROP activity takes place 5 nights a week and we make 15 different collections during the week. By distributing these goods to those who present as needing support or to “Homeless” shelters., or to Community food initiatives.

Providing a free public service every Autumn for the people of Glasgow and beyond. We are all volunteers who support people to make use of the yearly apple glut, to share their bounty, and enjoy making local diy food and drink.

Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust are very proud to welcome you to our very first in-house café. Whether you are popping in for refreshments after a gym session, taking a pit stop when walking along the canal or just having a rest after checking out our latest exhibition, we can’t wait to welcome you to your Maryhill’s community café. The café name was one of many suggested from members of our local community, and was finally chosen after a public vote in 2022. ‘Nolly’ is a local term of affection for the Forth & Clyde Canal, which flows behind our building. All purchases help support the charitable work of Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust.

The Lunch Club runs every week on Fridays at 12noon. A two course meal is served, followed by tea or coffee and a biscuit.

The lunches are provided by the school meal service.
