Our Projects

The Garnsychan Partnership provides a one-stop-shop approach, delivering a range of essential projects and services across the centre and wider community. We are a diverse and inclusive organisation and a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-aware (ND) and coaching-skills staff-trained centre, providing key interventions and support services across our communities.

We also work closely with many local groups and organisations to improve access to services, reduce barriers, and promote social inclusion and equal opportunities for all
