Throw-back to December 2023 when Garnethill Multicultural Centre’s Senior Art Group Show : Tea Together was held at Fleming House. A collection of multi-media textiles created by the class.

How do you feel about the Garnethill community? Do you feel safe? Do you know your neighbours? How about the young people? The families? the seniors? Come along to GMC to have your say!

We will be joined by Bella, from Generations Working Together to discuss & explore how we feel about the community, community safety, and how different generations (from the very young to the very old!) can connect. What works well and where do we need to improve? All ideas & suggestions are open for discussion!

Artwork, books, tea & cakes, bric a brac, clothing, plants, tombola, a raffle - it was all going down at our first Winter Fair last Saturday!
