PAST EVENTS
From festive workshops to kids summer fun days, our past events have brought people together, celebrated creativity, and strengthened our Coatbridge community.
Explore our highlights and see the joy and impact we’ve shared!

BUILDING A LOCAL COMMUNITY
Since 2022, our community group has been proud to host a variety of events designed to support our mission of improving health and well-being, supporting community spirit, and addressing the challenges of poverty during the cost of living crisis. From free community fun days and festive Christmas events, including Santa’s Grotto, to crafting workshops and outdoor food markets, these activities align with Coatbridge and Airdrie's Local Outcome Improvement Plan. Each event is community-led and tailored to meet local needs, providing accessible and inclusive opportunities for connection, creativity, and support. Through these initiatives, we strive to make a meaningful impact on the lives of local families and individuals during challenging times.




HANDS IN THE SOIL, HEARTS IN THE COMMUNITY
A huge thank you to NatWest Group, Financial Crime Learning and Capability for joining us at CCCG and rolling up their sleeves to do some serious hard graft in our community garden and outdoor space! It was a brilliant day and we’re so grateful for help! The difference you’ve made to our space will be enjoyed by the whole community. If any other big companies or organisations are looking to spend some time volunteering and making a real impact locally, we’d love to hear from you – get in touch admin@cliftonvillecommunity.co.uk
