22 families from St Marys Primary Storyplay and Wyndford Nursery Storyplay in Maryhill, and from Ruchill Big Porridge & Play and Whiteinch Big Porridge & Play joined us.

🎬BIG thanks to the Caravan Project and the Glasgow Film Theatre for making it happen!

CFN Trip to Rosemount Development Trust 30th Anniversary Celebrations

It was great to join the Royston community for an afternoon of Christmassy fun for the Rosemount Development Trust‘s 30th anniversary.

Ruby, our Children and Families Network producer, went along with a couple of CFN families from Maryhill and the Gorbals and a few of their friends. It was great to meet lots of new families and join them in a family takeover of Royston Road with a lantern parade featuring fantastic Caterpillar Lanterns decorated by local groups and classes. The Glasgow Playbus was another highlight – a huge double decker bus full of soft play tunnels and obstacles! It was also good to get some hot homemade lentil soup (a bit like our Porridge & Play soup!) made by Julia and her colleagues at North Glasgow Community Food Initiative – thank you!
