The Connecting New Scots project, run by Your Voice, has been welcoming families and individuals from multicultural backgrounds since 2017.
Every Friday, from 11am to 1pm, we host a drop-in session—a friendly and relaxed space where friendships are formed, and experiences are shared.
During these sessions, we sometimes invite various organisations to meet with Inverclyde’s New Scots, connecting people with a range of services and organisations in the area.
We also provide 1-to-1 meetings with families and individuals to offer more tailored support. This has helped many secure employment, take up volunteering roles, enrol in college, and address a variety of personal needs.
Additionally, we organise bespoke group activities that bring diverse cultures together, such as social bike rides, art classes, hill walks, film-making, creative writing, bring-and-share food days, and much more.
