Bowling Green Together is a by and for BAME majority-led community organisation in Pollokshields (South Glasgow) created and formed by local residents with a vested interest in our community's health. Bowling Green Together was created in 2022 through a grassroots campaign led by local residents to keep Pollokshield's community spaces engaged, inclusive, and healthy. Bowling Green Together has been a community long before it was an organisation. Now with intentionality we are growing more resilient, healthy, and empowered together.

Community Garden

This community garden was started by a group of neighbours in Maryhill to claim waste land and give it a real purpose for the community. They are slowly growing a variety of veg and fruits in the garden, but are always looking for hands to collaborate and help develop more projects in the site.
