Episode 4: Community

Rebecca Fraser Season 1 Episode 4

In Episode 4 we celebrate the joy of finding your place within a community.

We meet friends, Paul and Yacoub, who are both runners (although unfortunately injured at the time of the interview!) for a walk around Tollcross Park. They talk about their International Running Crew and the benefits of working together to achieve fitness goals as well as a growing friendships.

We then wander down to Shettleston Growers to explore their community garden with Kenny. Kenny explains that this natural haven, planted on ex-industrial land, 'is not just an allotment, it's a community'. 

We end by chatting with Corinne in Mount Vernon, as she reminisces about her teenage years at the local riding stables. Although we laugh about 'the drama', we ultimately look back on a childhood spent with good friends and the benefit of 'belonging' to a close knit community.
