There is no suitable community building to meet the needs of the local population of about 3,000. Bullding on Ideas developed over the past two decades, In 2016 some members of the Salnt Andrews Community Action Group and members of the Glencalrn Residents Group came together with a number of independent people to form the GCP. The GCP has two main aims. First, to advance community development for the benefit of the inhabitants in the Glencairn estate and surrounding area in 8elfa5t through the provision and management of a centre which will provide space and facilities for community and voluntary or8an5sations and by any other charitable means as the d•rectors shall consider approprlate.

The first was for up to £S,CO) under the Communlty Recovery Support Grant.. Medium Grant Tranche 2 - 2021/22 scheme. Funds {80% upfront) were received in mid-october and varlous sub-projects had taken place by the end of March 2022. The rnain one was provided by Fresh Minds timited which provided trainln8 for 10 teachers in how to teach emotional resilience lo children.

Several Zoom and Teams meetings were held to finalise this. Similarly, other remote meetings were held with councillors and BCC officers to discuss how to progress GCP'S alms.
