Glencairn Health & Wellbeing Project

Please be patient – this page is under construction!

For the moment, here are some photos from the project

Arty Crafty meets every Monday, 1-2.30pm in The Hive. We offer a variety of arts and crafts for mental wellbeing, and we welcome all skills levels. The weekly classes do not offer professional crafts teachers, but instead focuses on the sharing of arts and crafts skills already available in the community. So if you have a particular skill you are willing to share, we’d be very happy to hear from you.

We sometimes also hold Art for Wellbeing Workshops, which are longer meetings, usually hosted by professional tutors, and which provide either taster sessions or improver sessions. Details of these can be found on our Facebook Page.

The Repair Cafe meets between 10am and 1pm on the First Saturday of every Month. Our skilled and enthusiastic volunteers will assess your broken item and (where necessary) agree a price for the repair – you only pay for replacement parts, they provide their labour for free! Most months we are able to offer repairs in Bicycles, electrical items, PCs and laptops, leather and textile items.

We’ve just started work on our first Food Growing Project. A small community garden in the Picnic Area at the village car park in Moniaive will soon offer accessible growing opportunities for everyone. We’re currently working on building the raised beds and other infrastructure needed, but we’ll let you know just as soon as we’re ready to start planting!
