The classes build confidence and connection now for the leaders of tomorrow.
Our Library Club takes groups of 20 to read and learn in a fun, supportive environment. These sessions, which include computer literacy, have been suspended due to the pandemic but we look forwards to resuming them when restrictions allow.

Our Men’s Group offers English (ESOL) classes and a range of other activities.

Support and friendship to encourage attainment – around 100 pupils attend our regular Homework Club for help with their learning and to boost marks in a range of subjects.
Schools may have been closed to most during the pandemic, but lessons haven’t stopped during the pandemic and so neither have we.
Our regular sessions have moved online to offer a remote learning lifeline to pupils and their families and give them a degree of continuity during these uncertain times.
Organised in partnership with the University of Glasgow and NGhomes, this hugely successful course allowed young people from diverse backgrounds expand their horizons by exploring big issues like community, discrimination, power and globalisation. Students raised their voices and shared ideas in discussions and workshops exploring important local and global topics. This interactive approach enabled them to gain rich insights and experiences as they worked and learned alongside others.
