East End Flat-Pack Meals

✨ MOTHER'S OF THE SCHEME ✨

A beautiful poem to come out of the beautiful conversations and meetings this week around Mother's of the Scheme 🙂

Such beautiful stories being shared about women across Easterhouse and Springburn, and one particular comment of "honestly wit a wummin she truly wis" with a bellow of laughter after is truly the beauty of capturing oral histories 🙏

This poem below was written together from a group of women who have no experience i previously, and it's just too amazing not to share with you all 🙌

Remember if you want to get involved then get in touch, share memories of a women who's made your community a little brighter 👋🌞

We're also working with other organisations and coming to you to provide some workshops around this thanks to our amazing funders 🤗

🌸 Tell us about an amazing woman from the East End 💜

We’re looking for nominations, stories and memories of amazing women across Easterhouse to Springburn as part of East End Flat Pack Meals.

Maybe she’s a community activist, a neighbour who’s always there when someone needs her, a mum who has fought for her community, a woman who has inspired generations, or simply someone who deserves to have her story heard. ❤️

We want to hear about her.

Tell us who she is, what she has done, and why she deserves to be celebrated. Your story could help us shine a light on the incredible women who have shaped our communities. 🌻

💜 EVERY COMMUNITY HAS STORIES THAT DESERVE TO BE REMEMBERED 💜

Who are the women that inspired you? The neighbour who was always there to help. The mum who fought for better. The gran who held the community together. The volunteer, the carer, the campaigner, the friend.

We want to hear their stories.

Mothers of the Scheme is a community heritage project celebrating the incredible women who have shaped Easterhouse and the surrounding communities. Together we'll collect stories, memories and experiences that will become part of a lasting archive of local history.

These first two sessions are sign-up workshops, giving you the chance to find out more, meet others and share your ideas. No writing or creative experience is needed—just come along for a chat.

🌿 What an incredible milestone for East End Flat Pack Meals!

Yesterday, our Project Manager had the exciting opportunity to deliver the "Beyond the Walls" workshop at the International Association for Community Development (IACD) Conference, sharing research with community development practitioners from across the world.

The workshop explored how outdoor, community-led experiences can strengthen wellbeing, build relationships and create lasting community change. Seeing this research spark meaningful conversations on a global stage was a real pinch-me moment and a reminder that the experiences and knowledge within our communities have value far beyond our own neighbourhoods.

One of the most exciting parts of this journey is that the learning doesn't stop here. We are now inviting Community Learning and Development (CLD) practitioners to peer review the Beyond the Walls Learning Framework, helping to shape and strengthen it through collaboration before its wider publication.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the workshop, shared their thoughts and contributed to the discussions. We're excited to see where this journey leads next and how this framework can continue to support community-led practice.

Here's to continuing to learn, share and grow together. 💚
