Women’s Group

The Women’s Group meet every Wednesday at MILK from 10am-1pm.  We put the kettle on and catch up then usually take part in an activity or workshop. Our activities focus on creativity, well being and connection. In the past we have had crochet, glass painting, women’s health, song making, recipe sharing and story-telling

The group is about making connections and building strength and resilience. We try and facilitate sessions on whatever the group wants to try out or learn more about. After the activitiy we sit down together and share lunch.

We are open to suggestions and keen to hear what you would like to happen in the group . We are always happy to hear from New Scots who would like to get involved.

With funding from the Scottish Refugee Council and the Scottish Government, we have distributed a number of laptops amongst our network of refugee women. Alongside our computer skills workshops, this has allowed us to support many women with the transition online.

Practical Support

Every Friday 1pm - 3pm

We offer practical support like form filling, making appointments, contacting housing officers, help with volunteering and job applications every week. This session is a chance to get the support you need or offer it to someone else.

We will have access to laptop computers, mobile phones and internet.

Social Groups and Events

Milk has always been about creating connections, friendships and meaningful interactions and we are proud of the organic way this has developed over the years.

We currently have a Conversation Cafe every Monday and Friday between 10am and 12pm. It is a semi structured session to welcome new people to the community, give them a chance to practise English and learn about the city from a local.

You are invited to come whether you have been here for 2 weeks or 20 years - if you're nervous, take a friend!

We host Movement in Thyme - a community herbalist collective - every Thursday at 1pm. Their aim is to make herbal knowledge and plant medicine accessible to all. They have weekly workshops from £0 -£10 where they make medicines, grow herbs, go foraging and share from their experience.

We are also involved in a number of community growing spaces. Throughout summer last year we had weekly sessions and hosted a community gardening day, seed sorting sessions, outdoor kimchi making and more.
