Shortlisted for the Design Impact Award

South Seeds’ Energy Snapshot report has been shortlisted for the Design Impact Award 2014. Until 23rd October there is an exhibition of all those shortlisted at the Lighthouse, in Glasgow.

FREE energy audits for Southsiders

We can offer residents of Strathbungo, Pollokshields East, Govanhill, Crosshill and Queen’s Park an energy audit which takes about 45 minutes and on average saves most residents about £100 off their annual energy bills.

Celebrating the harvest in the Southside of Glasgow

This year we built two new community gardens. We held events to celebrate the harvest with local residents and reflect on what had been achieved.

Join us to celebrate this year’s harvest

Come to Queen’s Drive Lane community garden for a barbeque and opportunity to meet residents involved in building the garden on Tuesday 2nd September at 6.30pm.

From the 1st of August South Seeds will be offering energy advice at Govanhill Housing Welfare Hub.

Best close in Govanhill

The Richmond Fellowship close on Butterbiggins Road wins ‘Best Close in Govanhill’. They have created a fruit and vegetable growing area in the back court and shared information to reduce energy bills.
