Turf Youth and Community Project is a dynamic, community-focused charity dedicated to empowering young people, families, and communities within Glasgow’s Southside. Through an array of engaging activities, projects, and support services, Turf creates an inclusive space where individuals can connect, learn, and grow. Our universal approach provides a welcoming environment for all ages, fostering personal development and resilience through meaningful relationships and collective support. Turf’s commitment to building a stronger, connected and more vibrant community is at the heart of everything we do.

Our work is guided by three strategic themes: Connect, Learn, and Grow. Through Connect, we build strong community relationships by delivering programmes that bring together people across generations and social backgrounds. Learn focuses on creating opportunities for skills development, confidence building, and lifelong learning, ensuring participants are equipped with tools for personal and professional growth. With Grow, we support individuals in realising their potential, enabling young people and families to overcome challenges and thrive in their personal and community lives.

At Turf, we recognise that everyone’s journey is unique, and our approach reflects this understanding. Our services range from youth work initiatives that engage young people in positive activities to adult programmes designed to reduce social isolation and support mental well-being. With recent funding, Turf is expanding its team, allowing us to reach even more community members and broaden the impact of our work. This growth marks an exciting chapter for Turf, strengthening our ability to drive positive change across the Southside.
