Thanks for coming along and supporting our new social enterprise. Great to see you there. 🚲🚲🚲
🚲A wheely good launch of @StPaulsYF's 'On Bikes' bike shed at Hogganfield Loch this afternoon.
With 100% of the profits from the sale of parts, bikes or hire going back into community projects, this social enterprise makes sure cycling is accessible to all.

A big thanks to Scott who spoke so well on BBC’s morning Sunday Show about how youth work prevents violence with @timfrew & Emily from @DRCYouthProject Read more bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2d5… or listen again at 1.07 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002cn… @YouthLinkScot @churchscotland @smithycroft282
It was great to welcome @ScotGovFM John Swinney to the SPYF Molendinar centre today. He was very impressed with the variety of programmes we offer and the impact we’re making with our community. Thanks for your support.
It’s #RandomActsOfKindnessDay
Today when visiting the @BankofScotland, they gave us some paper for our copier and for the young people to use in their art class. Totally unexpected & why we love popping into the Duke St Branch.
What random acts of kindness are you doing today?
Always great to have visitors to Blackhill, especially when they are so passionate about transforming lives and communities (and of course our chickens!)
Thanks for coming!
Thanks to Neil & the team at @StPaulsYF for giving their time to show us round yesterday
A day of chickens, tandems and inspiration

Good luck
An exceptional week in the sunshine on #AlbaVenturer with pupils from @smithycroft282 with the @OYTScotland. Young people learning skills, gaining qualifications and meeting some of the locals as we sailed 112 nautical miles on the clyde. Core memories made. Thanks @CashBackScot
We love all that @Saintrochs6435 & @StRochsJuniors are doing in our community. These guys continue to do much more than football to support the areas around the club. The future is so positive when we all work together. #partnership #community #bestScheme

@smithycroft282 What an amazing 2 days we have had. See you as soon as school returns after summer 🤩
It's a massive job interview happening on Tuesday night for our next Member of Parliament. Come along on Tuesday to St. Paul's Church to hear more about what the candidates think and hear them answer your questions on the issues that matter to you in Glasgow North East #YouDecide
It's happening - Our latest @on_bikes venture providing so many services in partnership with our friends @Golfitglasgow. We're ensuring that everyone can get on a bike, with a 2km traffic free road to build confidence and see amazing wildlife around @SevenLochs - Pop in! 🚲🚲🚲🚲
Getting visas to allow our Zambian colleagues to visit us was horrible. Visas were refused as they were too poor. With support from Robyn & @AnneMcLaughlin visas were granted to allow our continued sharing of knowledge in our 18 yr friendship. Today we were able to say thanks
We had a fantastic conversation as part of our visit with the team from @UofGlasgow Adult,
Community and Youth team, discussing how young people thrive. Skills development is at the top of the list and the uni and team scaffold new leaders to develop their practice. #becauseofCLD
A massive thanks to @Golfitglasgow and @bigfeedgla for their hospitality this evening for the Scotland 🏴 v Germany 🇩🇪 game. If only the result was as good as the pre match entertainment and food. Our Zambian guests understand why we are better at Golf than Football.
Demonstrating the power of partnerships in promoting positive and lasting change in violence against women and girls!
