Provan Hall is an A listed medieval building located in Auchinlea Park, which sits at the heart of Easterhouse. The building has undergone a £2m restoration by Glasgow City Council that will safeguard this important heritage asset as a new hub for heritage learning and engagement, and a visitor gateway to the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.
Following its restoration, Provan Hall is managed and operated by the Provan Hall Community Management Trust. The aim of the Trust is to engage and inspire local people to value and take part in caring for their local heritage. We aim to provide opportunities that connect local people and visitors to Provan Hall through inclusive and creative means of heritage interpretation and activities.
Provan Hall Community Management Trust were awarded a grant by the National Lottery Community Awards for All fund to initiate a youth programme at Provan Hall. Following on from the success of this project, we have been awarded a grant by The Graham Trust and The Robertson Trust. These grant enables us to focus a programme of engagement with young people aged 5 – 24 across Easterhouse, Glasgow. The postholder will coordinate a programme of activities for young people to inspire enthusiasm and develop participation in our organisation. The post holder will further develop our current connections with local youth groups and initiate new ones across the wider area, furthering young people’s involvement in Provan Hall and our organisation. The role will include coordinating with our project partners, developing youth forums, liaising with freelance professionals, staff and supervising volunteers. This is a maternity leave post initially covering 9 months of maternity leave but may extend to 12 months.
