02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Calton Area Association was set up to provide social and wellbeing activities for the community of Calton, which is a disadvantaged area with few facilities and opportunities for local residents. This is why a group of local people decided to get together and form Calton Area Association. Calton Area Association provides a range of community events and activities for residents of Calton and the wider East End of Glasgow. Our commitment to fostering social connections and promoting wellbeing and creativity remains at the heart of everything we do. Our activities include Christmas Extravaganza for local families, bus trips for senior citizens, bingo nights, arts and craft workshops, afternoon tea dances, cooking classes, sewing classes, gardening workshops, film days and Big Band nights to name but a few. We listen to our community and ask them what they want and where possible we will try our best to deliver. We are reliant on external grant funding to provide our activities.
