Since May 2022, we are part of the Victoria Community Center, a collaborative building hosting several organisations and providing holistic services. Glocal Roots operates the centre’s communal spaces, including the caf\u00e9 and the safe space for women and children. These welcoming environments serve as central locations for sharing ideas, receiving support and networking. By promoting inclusivity and breaking down social barriers, these spaces not only provide opportunities to access vital resources and form relationships, but also lay the groundwork for social change by advocating for equality and intercultural understanding. We serve coffee, tea and hot lunch, offer different educational activities and workshops and distribute clothes and hygiene items. At the same time we are responsible for the overall management of the building.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Community Spaces are overseen by the project manager with support of the Fundraising, Communications & Advocacy Lead, the Cafe Coordinator, the Building Coordinator and 10 – 15 external volunteers. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
