Vision
A Community Hub
The aim is to provide a focal point, accessible to all, to foster greater citizen engagement and bring local residents, the local businesses, and smaller organisations together to improve the quality of life and sense of community in the local Mount Florida area.
Active Leisure Space
Effectively designed open space is vital to improving residents’ quality of life, especially in urban areas. Health benefits associated with open space provision, such as providing opportunities for an active lifestyle and relaxation are well known. We also believe that the retention of this space is directly in line with the Glasgow City Council Strategic Objectives and City Development Plan.
A Sustainable Future
Founded in 1909, the Club has been used by several generations of bowlers and enjoyed as an open space by many more in the wider community. The Trust aims to develop a space which is accessible to the present generation of Mount Florida; but more importantly, remains an asset to pass over to new generations. It is clear that to enable the club to operate in a financially solvent manner there is a need to consider alternative means of income. The Trust aims to explore these options, alongside the community, to establish the right mix of activities and amenities, to maximise the benefit to the community and provide a sustainable future.
