We just had to tell you about two fantastic events that are coming up next week.
Firstly the good people at Yoker Resource Centre are hosting a ‘Pipes of Peace’ event from 1.30pm until 4pm on Thursday 11th August. This event is in the run up to the World Pipe Band Championships and Piping Live! This is sure to be a fantastic occasion bringing world class piping to your doorstep so make sure you get along and join in the fun!
Secondly the Carnival is coming to Scotstoun! From 2-4pm on Sunday 14 August the Scotstoun Community Carnival will take place. The Carnival will be leaving from the Heart of Scotstoun Community Centre and there will be lots to see and do on the day. You can also get involved and make your own costume at one of the workshops that are being run throughout the week. Check the flyer for details.

The Trust has been working with COPE to support local volunteers in researching people’s attitudes to sustainability issues – energy efficiency, recycling, carbon footprint reduction, that kind of thing. So what the heck does your carbon footprint have to do with mental health? Well, DRCET and COPE both understand that taking positive action for the environment makes you feel good. It’s empowering.
The results of our volunteers’ research is here, and what they found was a great willingness to be greener, but a lack of knowledge and understanding about how to go about it.
So, feeling positive and empowered, the volunteers decided to form a new group to take their findings forward and do something about it! And so WeeFeet has been born – West End Enterprise For Energy Efficiency Today. The group is hatching all kinds of plans to spread the message about reducing carbon footprints, becoming “agents of change” to encourage our communities to make more sustainable choices. To see the minutes of their last two meetings, have a look here. The next one is onTuesday the 26th of January at COPE’s office (map here) for 6:30pm.
