Finn's Place is hosting a screening of The People's Emergency Briefing on Wednesday 4th November, (6.30pm start; doors from 6pm).

It's an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:
🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.

After the film there will be a short open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.
Seats are free but limited so please book in advance.

Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome (the film is recommended for ages 16+)

Note: the film is only being shown at in-person screenings and is not available online.

Last year Glasgow Life enlisted City of Poets to put on some poetry workshops with the local community to commemorate and celebrate the Langside Library refurbishment. Finn’s Place were happy to be the welcoming host for these workshops given the library is just round the corner.

They’ve now created a poetry book of the poems made by locals young and old…and are having a wee do to launch & share this…together with a wee talk from Langside Community Heritage and a wee update about the Library refurb progress.
If you can make it please send an RSVP to Glasgow Life (email in image) so they are aware of numbers.
