Want to do a bit of volunteering?
Do you have some time to spare. In town for a certain time. Between jobs. And would like to do some voluntary work. May be you want some experience on how various groups work and what they do.
Most projects can find you something to do that would help them out. Your time scale and limit. No compulsion to give any more than you want. And what you do do will probably de a great help no matter how little time you have to spare.
If you are a group and would like to join the list, or have some skills to offer. You can list it here.
Glasgow has the largest population of asylum seekers outside of London. There are between 3 - 400 destitute people in Glasgow. There are many ways of helping folk seeking asylum, many and varied skills needed. As well as the opportunity to meet interesting people through friendship and solidarity
The Burgh Angel, is a community newspaper dedicated in to producing news and collecting information on topics that are of importance to those in the community not represented by mainline media and newspapers. We are based in the north end of the city around the Maryhill area, but are happy to publish news from all over the Glasgow and even beyond, if it has relevance to our local communities.
Feature films, documentaries and presentations on anarchist themes, motifs, history, politics and people. Why watch the crap on the telly?
