Bonnymuir Green Community Trust

Charity registered in Scotland SC048260

Bonnymuir Green Community Trust is a thriving community owned green space.

We have a productive, managed community garden, a social hub and cafe, which is led, developed and sustained by local volunteers.

We encourage all members of the public to meet and share in a space that is accessible, providing the community with a mix of educational and social activities, encouraging fun, good health, wellbeing and sustainable living.


Current opportunities

Bonny Café is a community café, run by volunteers at Bonnymuir Green Community Centre. We serve drinks, hot food and baked goods from 10.30 -1.30, takeaway and indoor table service. The café has recently increased its opening hours and is now running Friday to Sunday, so we are hoping to find new volunteers to support these extended opening times. We are particularly looking for people to help with kitchen duties in the cafe: • cooking hot food. • making up bacon/sausage rolls. • making up sandwiches. You will be given a warm welcome and all the help and support you need to learn the ropes. Bonnymuir Green is a fantastic place to be involved with and has really developed and grown since it opened to the public three years ago. There is no set commitment – we appreciate any time that you have to give!

Bonnymuir Green Community Trust is a thriving community owned green space and registered charity. We have a productive, managed community garden, a social hub and cafe, which is led, developed and sustained by local volunteers. We encourage all members of the public to meet and share in a space that is accessible, providing the community with a mix of educational and social activities, encouraging fun, good health, wellbeing and sustainable living. Our aim is that Bonnymuir Green Community Trust develops and uses the site of the former Bonnymuir Green Bowling Club as an asset, owned by and operated for the benefit of the community. Our vision is to create an urban sustainability hub. All residents in our community and beyond will be encouraged to use it as a social hub where the emphasis is on promoting greener, carbon reducing lifestyle. To assist in this and the continued exciting developments at Bonnymuir Green Community Trust we are seeking new Board Members, particularly people with HR or finance experience and/or a background in the community/third sector. If interested please contact John Wigglesworth at email John.Wigglesworth@bgct.co.uk for more information.
