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!

A percentage of all proceeds were split between 4 very worthy Garnethill charities - Garnethill Community Council, FROGGS, Garnethill Neighbourhood Watch & ourselves Garnethill Multicultural Centre.

Learn to cook (and eat!) healthy, nutritious, meat-free & budget-friendly meals. Socialise, meet new friends, and learn a new skill. There will be enough food to take some home too!

What a life-affirming way to end the year with a Christmas get-together. With a delicious Christmas spread provided by Nyax from Living Solo Initiative. The upstairs hall expertly decorated by art teacher, Adela’s festive cut-outs, creating a lovely, relaxed atmosphere.

We started our weekly conversation café early in 2023 as another way for people newly arrived in Glasgow to meet people from the local community, practice English in a more informal environment, enjoy a warm nourishing home-cooked meal & make new friends.

Over this year our walking group has gone from strength to strength! With funding and support from @Paths for All, we have been able to add lots of exciting events in addition to our weekly walks. And there’s more to come in 2024!

What a great get together and exhibition last month with Living Solo Initiative to celebrate Black History Month 2023. The theme for 2023 was ‘Celebrating Our Sisters’. Rose and Nyax from Living Solo Initiative gave a really insightful talk to accompany the exhibition highlighting the crucial role that black women have played in shaping history, inspiring change, and building communities.

What a fantastic initiative to which everyone is invited. A walk around Garnethill & the West end of Glasgow, starting at St Aloysius, just next door to us on Rose St, visiting places of worship. Ending at the Gurdwara on Berkeley Street where everyone will enjoy a vegetarian meal together.

Lots of spooky fun was had at our 2023 kids Halloween party. Tickets were very much in demand & the party was booked out in record time! (We are really sorry that we could not accommodate everyone this year)
Around 80 local children came along - we had a costume parade, and lots of crazy dancing (both kids and adults!) - All the costumes were fantastic! …
