We’re looking for a title for our planned programme of classes and activities at the Centre!
Get With Whiteinch is changing, and we would like your ideas on what we can call its replacement.
The proposed project will include a Work Club, where people can get support with job applications and interview preparation, while learning new things, building thier confidence and forming new links in their community.
Ideas for the new programme name can be sent to Ruth at the Centre, to @whiteinchcentre on Twitter or to our Facebook page.  Prize will be given to the best suggestion!

The Whiteinch Centre is forming a group of folk to look at the environmental issues affecting our community. We want to learn together, share skills and work together to make a difference.

If you have an idea of what we can do . . . we want to hear it.

If you have a problem that needs addressed . . . we want to hear it.

Come along to our first meeting on 11th April at 1.30pm at the Centre.

OK, so you want an incentive . . . there’s a free lunch. There you go!

If you can’t make it, keep in touch with us on facebook.

Something for everyone!

Whiteinch Centre has just hosted a short exhibition of paintings by local artist and regular centre user Alistair Buchanan.

His work is available for sale.  If you are interested, contact the Centre and we will put you in touch with the artist himself.

Hopscotch Theatre Company, in association with Glasgow Arts will be performing their panto Mother Goose at the Whiteinch Centre.

Poor Mother Goose has hit rock bottom. Not only is the credit crunch beginning to bite, but she’s ageing fast and spent every cent of the rent on wrinkle cream.  When Lucy the Goosey suddenly starts laying golden eggs it seems all her worries are over, but the dreadful Demon King has his eye on the golden goose and that spells trouble of a different sort.

The performance starts at 7pm on Saturday 3rd December.

Tickets are £3 for adults and £2 for children and concessions.

To book, contact Anne at the Centre on 0141 950 4434!
