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. Our vision is to support people to flourish and realise their full potential by creating an environment for creative and recreational events. 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.

we work with many community food projects and programms and want to support the community to do more

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. We run a community garden, cooking club, weekly community meals, and a free community larder. We also work in partnership with a range of education providers to deliver cooking and growing workshops with local young people.

Roots to Recovery is a gardening project set up by the North East Recovery to allow our clients access to a growing space in the East. We are based at Elcho Gardens in the Calton and meet every Thursday morning. We have access to 6 raised beds and a few large barrels and have been growing a range of vegetables.

We run gardening volunteer sessions, open to all. Friendly and relaxed environment and no prior skills required! March - November: every Monday and Thursday 11am - 4pm November - February: monthly sessions, dates vary. Best to check our website or social media or email us at [email protected] to check! We usually have an optional shared potluck lunch around 1pm at our volunteering sessions. Bring a dish to share or if it feels more comfortable to you, you can just bring lunch for yourself. :)
