Lambhill Stables
What we do
The Lambhill Stables building opens in June 2011 when it will become a centre point for the community to provide local residents with the opportunity to develop their potential as active citizens in their community and offer visitors a unique local heritage leisure experience.
In addition to members of the public, Lambhill Stables will be an ideal place for schools to visit, providing a stimulating educational environment that will be an interactive, enjoyable way for children to learn about both the natural and cultural heritage of the area and gain a better understanding of environmental issues.
Community Garden
Adjacent to the Lambhill Stables building, we have transformed the once disused overgrown land into a thriving community garden. The project’s staff and volunteers work in partnership with other local organisations, groups from the community, and schools to promote and encourage involvement in horticulture, healthy living activities and work to enhance the Stables green spaces and bio-diversity.

Community Service
Lambhill Stables works closely with the criminal justice team at Glasgow city council.
We believe that community payback can help break the cycle of reoffending by putting offenders to work to repay
their dues to the community whilst delivering benefits to the local people. Lambhill Stables was recently awarded
the Best Skills Building Project at the Scottish Community Service Awards.

Schools and education
Lambhill Stables provides a stimulating educational environment. Children come to learn about the natural and cultural heritage of the area and leave having gained a better understanding of environmental issues. Our community gardener Anne runs interactive workshops where children get to plant, prepare soil, learn about crops and take home produce at the end of the day. We also run fun archaeological digs and treasure hunts.
