Renfrew Riverside & Scotstoun, Scotstoun
Description:
The new community centre began in response to the demolition of Victoria Drive Secondary School's annexe in the 1990s. Ever since the loss of this community asset, local residents and voluntary organisations have actively campaigned for a new facility to provide a focal point for local people and act as a catalyst for local community-based activities.
The new building, operated by the community of Scotstoun, opened in June 2011. Key features include a main hall, cafe, drop-in / training space, conference room and offices to hire, outdoor space and childcare facilities.
Anyone who lives in Scotstoun is eligible to join and participate in this local co-operative, known as the Heart of Scotstoun.
