Who We Are
We are a charity based In Sighthill, North Glasgow.
About us
We have existed since 1999 with the same vision to support asylum seekers, refugees and the local community. The project has gone through many changes in those years; not least, moving into our purpose built building in 2020 (just before lockdown!) so we are now at the point of really beginning to use it to its capacity and potential to reach the ever growing needs of those we work with. We have a wide range of programmes we offer that are open to all who are interested.
Alongside the activities, we are here to build relationships with those who come in, build partnerships and be part of a wider network that seeks to alleviate the issues many in our community face. At St Rollox Community Outreach you will always be welcomed warmly by our team. It is a joy to be a community of a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities. We seek to be a safe place where each individual and family is seen, known and valued. It is our vision to see lives and communities transformed.
