3D Drumchapel Wins Community Champion Team Award!
3D Drumchapel are proud to say that our volunteers won the 2016 Evening Times Community Champion Team Award!
After winning the North West region, we were invited to the awards ceremony at the City Chambers just pleased to be a part of the celebration of Glasgow's community activism. At a fantastic evening of boisterous fun - complete with impromptu conga line! - we came away with the award, much to everyone's delight. It's fantastic reward for everyone's hard work and commitment, and we're so pleased to see our volunteers' work recognised.
From supporting our sessions, cooking our family lunch, helping with creches, organising our clothing bank and much more, we absolutely could not do it without the huge amount of time, effort and energy of our wonderful volunteers - you are fantastic!

Congratulations to Play on Pedals champions!
On Saturday our Summer 2016 Play on Pedals series came to a close, with everyone earning their certificates! It was great to see evidence of so much improvement in just six short weeks, with far fewer wobbles and a lot more confidence on display. Look forward to seeing you all freewheelin' around Drumchapel! Special congratulations to Kaci, Khloe, Scott, Layla-Jane, Dylan and Beth, who all earned their pedals in the form of a nifty Play on Pedals trophy, and thanks to Cycling Scotland and The Bike Station for all their help and support
