Rise:Glasgow aims to be a means of offering refugee and asylum seeker women in Glasgow work experience and accredited training in catering, hospitality and spoken and written English. Through this, we aim to see women’s confidence increase, regain purpose and their dignity in the knowledge that they have something to offer by making the food they love, from their culture and country. Rise:Glasgow aims to be a community hub, where people from every ethnicity, culture and background can find friendship, belonging and ownership by sharing in the making and eating of food.

We are a bespoke catering company and creator of 'Friday Take Home,' a local eco-friendly Friday night food delivery service with a weekly changing menu featuring worldly cuisine.

The Space is Scotland’s first Pay What You Decide Community Arts Venue for events, workshops, food, non-alcoholic drink and laughter. Our venue provides activities for the mind, body and soul: a place for music, art, comedy, film, performance, education and discussions. Drop in and visit us for a cuppa Fridays and Saturdays 9am-6pm or Sundays 11am-5pm, try something new, meet new friends, and learn new skills! The Space is run by People Without Labels, a charity with a vision of supporting people to flourish and realise their full potential by creating an environment for creative and recreational events. We aim to ensure 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.
