A few of our older residents have felt that they have been given a new lease of life with the Lambhill Stables, one of our residents, 93 year old Mary, now attends craft classes, and as she is an expert in embriodery, helps other people in the class to learn, and she feels that she now has a lot more to look forward to than what she did before. Another of our residents, Bill, who was an architect back in the day, has said that the heart is now back in Lambhill, which many felt had been missing for a long time due to a lot of sites in Lambhill becoming empty and derelict, the Lambhill Stables is currently the only source of community engagement in the area apart from our local parish, and the difference that has made to our area is like night and day. The local children now have somewhere they can go to instead of hangng about on the streets, it has truly been a great boost to our community!
