“The friendliness, the variety of activities, the staff are brilliant. You are able to do stuff you would only dream of doing and would never usually get access to.”

Craft Cafe
Are you aged 60+ and looking to renew social networks, connect with your local community and grow in confidence?
Craft Café activities are self-directed by members and include a wide range of creative techniques. From photography and painting to knitting and crochet; from upcycling furniture and wood burning to printmaking and sculpture, the list is endless and there is something to suit everyone’s interests.
You will be provided with all the art materials and equipment you need to get involved – as well as support that can help you feel better in body, mind and soul.
Participating in the arts can improve mental health by reducing stress and isolation and improving self-esteem.
Sessions – 10am and 4pm, from Tuesday until Thursday each week, at the Elderpark Housing Association, 65 Golspie St, Govan, Glasgow G51 3AX
In 2020/21 Craft Café Govan engaged with 66 older people in the local community on a weekly basis
We are always keen to explore ways we can support others like you in different communities or settings, and if this is something you would like to discuss, please do contact us for a chat about how we might help.
We also ensure that we celebrate your creativity through professionally curated exhibitions, showcases and events that allow your artistic achievements to be shared widely with the public!
