This is a new formed group and is open to all who want to do positive things around Maryhill and beyond. We are open to ideas and activities that will help to make our community stronger and safer

The feelings of the parents and why this group is being formed are  universal among folk and families. We want to create old fashioned community. We don't want to go back in time -but to try and recreate some of the values we had in our community before the supermarkets the developers television and having to pay through the nose for everything including entertainment and enjoyment.

We are asking
What are our older neighbors thinking. How can we engage with them more and make sure they are OK. How could we learn from their experiences - their history.

Who is looking after the kids when they are outdoors - what can they do - what can we give them to keep them healthy and happy.

Teenagers and young folk are about to become adults. How do we give them responsibilities to help them take the responsibility as they are growing up - make them feel part of what is going on.

We don't want to moan we want to do things.
We want to create events that especially parents and kids can enjoy together.
We want to communicate with other groups to see what we can do together - and work on.
Have you any ideas or are you already doing things in the neighbourhood

We will start to regular meetings at the local community centre.
