Spring has sprung in time for family fun
Event organised by Ardenglen Housing Association.
A spring family day helped bring the community together once again in Castlemilk.
A huge turnout of families attended the event organised by Ardenglen Housing Association’s hard-working Community Committee, with a firm emphasis on fun.
The occasion was held in the Maureen Cope Community Hall, with dance group Blaze and a magician to entertain the kids.
Also featured were examples of the work done by two groups which are part of Ardenglen’s ‘The Only Way is Up’ initiative known to the local community as TOWiU.
It is one of Ardenglen’s programmes designed to build people’s confidence, skills and resilience and has significant community support.
Stunning examples of the work carried out by sewing group Sew Fabulous were offered for sale, including cushions. Sew Fabulous provides the opportunity to local people to learn new skills through the manufacture of textile goods from reclaimed fabrics.
The occasion was also used to showcase the work done on reclaimed furniture giving them a new lease of life and undertaken by the Mending Castlemilk group.
Ardenglen Regeneration Manager Lesley Macphee said:
“The turnout at our Spring Family Fun Day was fantastic and hopefully everyone had a great time. Thank you also to the Ardenglen Community Committee whose hard work and expert planning made the day an occasion to remember.”
