GCP’S 2026 SOCIAL IMPACT

Read our 2026 Social Impact Report

Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) is an open, inclusive, and diverse community, enabling the most marginalised people in the city to flourish.

Today and every day, we continue to change the lives of the city’s most vulnerable citizens, reducing social isolation and improving quality of life by providing opportunity, experiences, skills and connection.

GCP’s 2026 Social Impact

Throughout 2026, we have continued to see growing demand for our services, alongside the challenges faced by many people across the city. Our 2026 Social Impact Report highlights the difference GCP makes, sharing the experiences, achievements and voices of the people who make our community what it is.

It gives you an overview of ALL that we do, with great photos and stats to demonstrate our positive impact.

Take a look at everything we do, from our activities and learning opportunities to our Member and Volunteer stories, feedback and the work of our fantastic Social Enterprises. Alongside photographs and key figures, the report captures the connections, opportunities and positive changes happening across GCP.

Every story matters, every achievement counts, and together we make a difference.

‘It means everything to me, it is a real lifesaver. It gets me out of the house and this is very important as I live alone and have no contact with family and no friends. ‘

‘Feel like I’m one step closer to finding myself and realising my true potential, each time I attend GCP .’

‘All the things I have done before was a challenge but look at me now! ‘
