Full description
We are applying for funds to support the running of the Glendale Women's Cafe so that we can welcome women of Pollokshields to attend drop in crafting and wellbeing activities, enjoy a warm and welcoming space offering food, and take part in opportunities for social engagement to combat isolation.
We will deliver a 10 week programme of drop in for the women which will run from 18th April to 21st June for a full day on a Tuesday and a half day on a Wednesday morning.
The programme will include the following:
- crafting activities looking at skills the women are keen to develop, and consider reuse of materials, such as jar decoration, or scrap booking. every 2nd week
- 5 wellbeing or massage sessions from visiting professionals with whom we already have a good relationship and who understand the needs of the women who attend the café
- Visits to local museums or heritage venues, such as Burrell, Kelvingrove, Open Museum
- Wellbeing pop up sessions, such as Pachedu delivering a session on Menopause
- Drop in chat in the café
