GSA Sustainability is run by and for students and staff at the Glasgow School of Art. We cover areas of environmental impact, social justice and ethical issues within GSA, its policies, students' practice and campus operations. We promote FROGGS on Garnethill to our GSA community, and have had an active surplus food society. We aim to be more organic, non-meat, Fairtrade and socially aware in what we eat and grow.

The charity was set up in 1988 to "develop the community through the provision of recreational horticultural activities and advance the education of the public in Castlemilk and its wider environs." The organisation provides support and facilities for local people, some of whom may be older, frail or have disabilities, to participate in and extend their knowledge of horticulture. It provides social interaction for those who might otherwise be excluded or isolated and also works towards the relief of poverty by supporting individuals to grow their own food crops.

Glasgow based producer of artisan homemade jam, chutney, marmalade and mustard. We only use natural ingredients which are locally sourced if possible.
