This creative project started with some small community workshops in the Multicultural Centre and the goal of creating new bespoke curtains for the Multicultural Centre’s upstairs hall. The last ones were donated by a local shop a couple of decades back (AT LEAST) and they need replaced!

We’ve got a fantastic opportunity here in the building to work with the community on a new creative project! Our upstairs hall was recently repainted and now looks so much sharper. As part of that redecoration, we need new curtains

In partnership with Migrant Voice, we put on a wonderful ceilidh on Saturday 21st January 2023. Over a hundred folk came to dance various Scottish and traditional dances from all over the world, as well as sample homemade food too!

Every year it’s a labour of love to decorate the front windows of the centre with festive imagery. This year Adela and Chirsty spearheaded the effort with a Nordic theme in white and red. Using recycled and upcycled materials (which will be folded away for reuse another year) and alongside several volunteers, they cut, traced, drew and sellotaped every single design onto all the windows!

We’ve been very busy these past few months looking at ways the centre can be more accessible. Our website is a first point of contact for many people, so we’ve made a new one and tried to keep it as clear and easy to use as we can. The new site needed a new look, so local illustrator (and staff member) Rosie Cunningham created a new logo based on Garnethill’s ‘Chooky Burdies’ by artist, Shona Kinloch…

With a view to inviting many of the local children into the building to celebrate together, some local parents have done a lot of planning and helping out. This year was our biggest yet with over 100 people in the hall, dancing…

On 29th April 2022 the new Garnethill Food Hub was declared open by three year old Morven and the Lord Provost, Phillip Braat. Many local residents, school children and local nurseries came out to watch the ribbon cutting ceremony, along with an impressive performance from our very own Hung Fut Lion Dancers.
