We received funding from the Kelvin Valley and Falkirk CLLD Fund to hold a series of creative workshops, to make a variety of different items for our outside space. Themes of the workshops include recycling (and upcycling), reducing waste and promoting circular economy principles. We also received funding to do some work on our garden space.

We've had volunteers working hard both on the garden and on the creative projects, and now we're ready to unveil them.

We'd like to invite you to our installation party - come and see all the fruits of all that hard work.

Join us on Friday 27th February between 2.30-3.30pm. We'll have some hot drinks and snacks on offer too. Click here to book
