Everyone has something to offer. Everyone deserves somewhere to belong.

Grassmarket Community Project is a welcoming community in the heart of Edinburgh, where people come together to build relationships, discover their strengths and take part in something bigger than themselves.

Whether you’re looking for friendship and connection, want to try something new, develop your skills or simply find a place where you can be yourself, there’s a place for you at GCP. Our community offers activities, learning, creative opportunities, volunteering, practical support and plenty of chances to get involved.

We believe that people should be valued for what they can contribute, not defined by the challenges they may be facing. At GCP, everyone brings their own experiences, ideas and strengths, and together we support one another to grow, build confidence and create positive change.

What happens when I join?

Joining GCP starts with getting to know you.

Everyone completes a Membership Form so we can understand a little about you and make sure we can support any individual needs. You’ll then be invited to a Welcome Meeting, where you can meet the team, find out more about the community, have a look around the Centre and talk about what you’d like to get involved in.

There’s no expectation to do everything at once. You can find your own starting point and get involved in a way that feels right for you.
