Kingsway Community Connections is a Scottish registered charity (SC030788) and is registered as a company limited by guarantee (SC375922).

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 & wellness.

It becomes the hub at the heart of the community. At one level, it’s the hub for local residents to participate, developing a sense of ownership and trust. On another level, it’s a gateway to local residents for other service providers, enabling better access to target groups. It offers sustainable community regeneration because the Centre:

* Develops awareness and understanding of health, poverty and inequality issues;

* Challenges attitudes and lifestyles, encouraging behavioural change and it aids the integration process;

* Acts as a social outlet and source of physical and emotional support for many;

* Develops a sense of pride in the community;

* Encourages self confidence and personal development;

* Promotes individual responsibility and mutual respect.
