​Over the years, we've had numerous conversations with local residents about what the Gorbals needs, and one of the most frequent responses has been the need for more community spaces.

​

It’s clear that people want a central hub—somewhere they can drop in for a chat, stay informed about what's happening locally, and feel part of a connected community. Flexibility and accessibility are also top priorities. The community is asking for a modern, inclusive space that caters to people of all ages and abilities, including those with physical or cognitive disabilities and neurodiverse children and adults. A space that everyone—from toddlers to seniors—can use!

​

This idea has sparked increasing interest, and it's now a major topic of discussion across the community. At our last Community Vote in October 2022, we invited residents to share their views on supporting a campaign to make this vision a reality. 66% of voters expressed their support, and the conversation has only grown since then.

​

To move forward, we're working to gather information about existing community spaces in the Gorbals—their availability, accessibility, and affordability. As part of this effort, we’ll be out and about, engaging with people and collecting your thoughts and ideas to shape the campaign and ensure it reflects the needs of everyone in the area.
