virtual Burns Night

So we're having a bash at an online version of our Thursday Night Gatherings – kicking off with a Virtual Burns Night, on the 28th January.
Gathering Up A Storm

Exciting things happening in our yard in Ibrox! A team of volunteers have started assembling our green oak shelter, which will provide us with an outdoor space to meet over the winter months (and beyond).

Timber and firewood

We produce a number of Scottish hardwoods - often by working with partners within Historic Environment Scotland and Glasgow City Council to bring locally produced timber for sale to the public and for use in our products.
Boat building

GalGael works together on demanding common tasks that build community and demonstrate ways of living with more humanity. Working together on boats of all shapes and sizes is one of the ways in which we do just this.

How to participate

There are many ways to get involved in our work. Find out how to become part of what we're doing, visit us or stay connected.
Why we need volunteers

GalGael offers activities that help people reclaim skills, agency and sense of worth. Without our crew of dedicated volunteers we these activities wouldn't happen nor would the many other adventures we have.
About our social enterprise

Our range of products and services - activities that generate meaning and income to help us become self-sustaining.
Where we are

This is where you'll find us. We work and gather around tables and workbenches, at events, at cultural sites and in the great outdoors.
Basic Woodwork

Basic woodwork is the mainstay of our work at GalGael. Find out more about our opportunities to learn with us. Craft generates skills, agency, and community.
Open Workshop Nights

We have a workshop with tools and benches so every Thursday we open that up to the wider community. Thursdays are open format - they very much depend on who shows up and what they bring. But we can promise workshop space, a basic meal and some banter.
How to refer

GalGael’s activities offer folk a place of work, some respect and some tools. We work to create a therapeutic environment however what we offer is firmly based in practical skills. So we are reliant on ongoing working relationships with our partner agencies in supporting people with complex needs.
