Enhancing Outdoor Spaces for People

Description

The Glencorse Centre is a small, charity-run community centre in Auchendinny run with the help of a band of dedicated volunteers.

Their overarching aim is to help build, encourage and sustain, lasting connections within their immediate community and beyond.

They are there for everyone, no matter what they do, how old they are, where they’re from, or who they love; there’s something for everyone at the Glencorse Centre!

Within their lovely community hall, many small local businesses run classes which includes: yoga, baby massage, fitness classes, dance classes for all ages, art classes, mental health and wellbeing groups, local craft groups and more.

They are also proud to host the Penicuik Men’s Shed which is a fantastic local charity who share their core values, and they’ve been so pleased that they could offer them a home so they could keep doing the great work they do.

The Glencorse Centre have worked their socks off to redesign and rebuild this once derelict area and turn it into a community green space where all are welcome and can take part.

 

How You Can Help

The Glencorse Centre is seeking support to enhance their outdoor facilities.

Their current, rather tired seating is worn and can only be repaired so many times by their kind volunteers at the Penicuik Men’s Shed.

They would love support to replace it, as soon as possible, with safe, durable seating for all to enjoy over the warmer months.

This will benefit both local residents and the increasing number of new families moving into the area by providing safe and welcoming spaces for all.
