Kingsway Community Connections is a Scottish registered charity and is registered as a company limited by guarantee.
We are a community development centre set up and managed by local people for local people to help improve the quality of our life and our community.
Our Vision is one of a Proud, Capable and Confident multi-cultural community.
Our Mission is to build social capital within the community.
That is, we believe increasing people’s confidence, esteem, sense of connectedness and belonging is likely to be the most effective contribution our organisation can make to addressing health inequalities and improving health and wellbeing within the community.
We aim to do this by generating resources and opportunities to improve people’s chances of personal growth & fulfilment
