Part of Organised Outdoor Community Play Fund
Concrete Garden is a trusted, community anchor organisation with a proven record of community-led action and accomplishment. Their work, based in the heart of Possilpark in Glasgow, centres around their vision for a community where everyone has an equal opportunity to be happy, healthy, and thriving.
