02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The GalGael Trust empowers communities to imagine, determine and ultimately make just futures that meet their needs for living well and sustainably in an increasingly uncertain world. We provide the means to reclaim skills, agency, and wellbeing as part of a learning community. Every week we offer skill sessions, at levels to suit beginners or for those who want to take something a bit further. Current sessions cover an introduction to gardening or woodwork with options and workshops to suit a range of interests and capabilities. Our Garden gives new spaces for us to grow and learn, and gives us the opportunity to reconnect with the land. Folk learn about themselves and others along the way and can join discussions about issues that affect us and our neighbourhoods.
