Join us for a free introduction to fermenting foods workshop, learning how to preserve some of summer’s abundance for later on in the year.
Our food system and the climate crisis are inextricably linked. Not only is our Western industrial food system one of the main drivers of climate change, but a changing climate will also impact access and availability of food in Scotland, particularly for migrant and low income communities. We need a more resilient, climate-friendly and just food system in which everyone has access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food. Come and learn some of the skills to build more resilient, local food systems in our communities.
The Food & Climate Action Free School is a growing season of free workshops, sharing different skills related to food. It is organised by the Space in collaboration with the Food & Climate Action Project and a variety of wonderful partners.
All workshops are free but registration is essential. Participant numbers are limited due to Covid-19 so please only register if you intend to come and please cancel your ticket if you can’t make it anymore so that your spot can be given to someone on the waiting list.
In this workshop we will learn how to preserve the abundance of summer through fermentation. Rox Madeira, community herbalist, wild food and medicine foraging guide and nutritional therapist with Trossachs Wild Apothecary and Movement in Thyme CIC will show us some simple fermentation techniques in this workshop.
Access and Covid-19 info:
Soul Food Sisters Café is in Gallowgate, close to the Barras with public transport connections to the city centre and other areas in Glasgow via bus on the same street, the bus stop being a 2 minute walk from the café. The café is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible as there is a small step to enter the café and no wheelchair accessible toilet. Reimbursement for travel costs is available, please get in touch with Jac at [email protected] if you would like your travel costs reimbursed or if you would like to attend but you have concerns about accessibility.

We’re taking action by cleaning the beach at Bowling Harbour. The Clyde is an inland estuary, with salt water, connected to the oceans. So as part of our Protect The Oceans Campaign, we’ve been organising beach clean ups here for the last few years.
You can get to Bowling by train, bus, bicycle or kayak.
On this occasion we can’t provide litter picks or gloves. (we’ve been trying to organise this since April without success from our normal host partner so we thought we’d just go ahead by ourselves!) So please bring any of your own equipment such as gloves, bags and litterpickers. Please wear sensible clothing and bring some water and snacks.
Families and dogs welcome.
This is a part of our current Protect The Ocean campaign for a secret Greenpeace Ocean action. Greenpeace want 30% of the oceans to be protected by 2030.
The photo, by Gavin Newman is of a Basking Shark. An endangered species that can occasionally be spotted in the Clyde Sea Estuary.

Event Details
LSC BIO (Be Involved Outdoors) Group are a group of volunteers who have been working to improve the biodiversity and beauty of Albert Park on the southside of Glasgow since an ecological survey was carried out in 2020. The park is a 10 acre multi-sport club, but is also a designated Site of Importance to Nature Conservation. It is boundaried on two sides by the White Cart river and extensively tree-lined – a hidden green oasis. We have planted lots of pollinator friendly plants, created a habitat hedge (dead hedge), introduced native hedging, have introduced composting, greened up the hard spaces at the club and we are transforming a 130 metre grassy bank into a wildflower bank, and more besides – come and see what we have achieved. On the day there will be a map to guide you around the park, volunteers on hand to answer questions. In the Clubhouse there will be a slideshow of photos from the past two years of hard work, a wildflower seed giveaway, and some free refreshments. There will also be a display of COP 26 placards – a nostalgic reminder…

Gilded Lily will be organisng a visit to the Vanguard project in Strathaven for up to 20 women from Govan and surrounding areas. Targeting at least 50% of participants from BMAE and refugee/asylum seeker communities, we will provide transport to take the group to visit a farm project, to get out of the city and connect with nature as well as taking part in upcycling craft and growing sessions, followed by a discussion on climate change.
Govan is one of the top 10% most deprived areas in Glasgow (IMD) and women we work with experience many barriers and issues such as social isolation, financial deprivation, lack of opportunity, poor mental wellbeing. This event will provide a great opportunity for women who might not have been out of the city, to reconnect with nature whilst learning about the importance of recycling and growing to help reduce the effects of rubbish and waste on the environment. They will also plant some herbs & flowers to take home and learn about seasonal growing/eating and the importance of biodiversity.
Our discussion will focus on climate justice, where women will share the experiences of climate issues they have experienced as well as family members living in other countries. This will provide a connection with how our activities are affecting people/places in other countries.
Location and time TBC.
