Gallery
The Coach House Trust Gallery, now opened for six years, is centrally situated at 518, Great Western Road Kelvinbridge in the west end of Glasgow. The primary purpose of the Shop is to promote and provide a showcase for the work our participants undertake whilst attending the various employment training initiatives provided by the Trust. We find this helps contribute to a feeling of well being, gained confidence, and a rise in the participants own self esteem.
The products in the shop range from beautifully crafted ceramics and original paintings to innovative hand crafted bespoke furniture produced from reclaimed Scottish timber at our units based in the Balmore Industrial Estate, Lambhill, and from two other arches the Trust rents from Network Rail in Yorkhill. Our furniture is made from trees felled by our own gardening team who also deliver hard and soft landscaping and gardening services to the local community. Once felled, the trees are then planked and kiln dried at our units in Balmore until ready for furniture production.
Our current range of furniture in store includes solid oak bookcases, burr elm coffee tables, large beech mirrors and shelving units, beautiful cabinets, imaginative lamps and clocks and large or small pine blanket boxes made by the Boomerang project Maryhill from reclaimed pallets.
We have also established partnership working with several other organizations who have a similar remit to our own namely the Boomerang project based at Gartnavel hospital in the west end of Glasgow (as mentioned above) and the Bullwood project based in the South side of the city. The shop also offers our participants employment training in retail sales, cash handling, sales targets and general skills associated with running a successful retail business.
The shop also creates a greater public awareness of what we actually do at the organization and is also the first point of contact for many people interested in what the Trust can offer them. Even although the Trust has now been operating in the local area for over ten years, many people who visit the shop are surprised to find out about the work undertaken by the Coach House Trust nestling just behind us in a perfect environment at the end of Belmont Lane!
