The KPC 30th Anniversary Project
30 years ago our building was threatened with closure by the council - when a group of young women and mothers stood up and demanded it be put into community hands. They occupied the building 24/7 for 55 days straight, leading to a victorious community buyout. This project will celebrate this incredible piece of Glaswegian activist history through honouring it with 55 days of action, events, heritage, and celebration in our building from the 3rd of May until the 27th of June 2026.
Who we are looking for:
Someone passionate about community events or who wants to learn more
Someone who is friendly and happy to chat to visitors
Someone willing to work as part of a team with different people
