Kinship and being a Good Human

GalGael's board has some heavy hitters - that is when it comes to weighing in on the issue of social justice. Here, John Carnochan - who trail blazed radical new approaches to violence and knife crime with the Violence Reduction Unit at Police Scotland - shares his thoughts on what it means to be a human being in the context of kinship.

Very human humans

This is not your typical ‘success story’ with happy endings. Brian arrived at GalGael’s workshop with a cynicism bordering on healthy - "I thought GalGael was just another programme to keep the DWP off my back for a few more months while I got on with the business of drinking myself to death, no big deal".
Open Workshop Night

Join us for our weekly open workshop nights - every Thursday.
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.
