3D Drumchapel is a Charity which has been working with children and families in Drumchapel and surrounding areas for 25 years. We journey with children, families and communities to build strong foundations for families to thrive. We aim to strengthen family relationships, support parents to be the best parents they can be, improve family health & wellbeing, support children's development and build capacity in communities for family support delivery. Our services include a perinatal programme, parent & child sessions, parenting programmes, learning & development sessions, outdoor play, peer support groups, 1-1 support, family support in schools and practical support including Bairn Necessities which redistributes clothing and equipment for 0-5 years. This is an exciting new role for volunteers to develop and maintain the garden at our premises at Drumchapel St Andrews Church. The garden will be used by our families who will learn to grow flowers, fruit and vegetables. We aim to use the vegetables for making soup for our families and provide healthy fresh fruit & vegetable packs to the families that come along to our play sessions. This is a small private garden which requires some development, upkeep and to be free of litter. We will also be creating a multi-use nurturing and safe space for young children to play with their families. This role requires a PVG membership.
