Most of us love music, but did you know it can also be transformative? Listening to and playing music are both associated with positive health and wellbeing outcomes.

The UK food industry throws away 6.2 million tonnes of food every year, and 4 million tonnes of that is good to eat. GL11 is proud to partner with FareShare, a charity redistributing surplus food to those who need it most; in the last quarter we used 250kg of food which would have gone to waste.

There's sometimes a perception that GL11 Community Hub is just for people 'in need' and, whilst it's true that we do run activities for some of the most vulnerable in our community, we also want to make it clear that we're here for the whole of Cam and Dursley.
