Albany Cafe
From March 2008 through September 2008, FFTG worked in partnership with Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS) to set-up and establish the catering service at the new Albany Café at 44 Ashley Street, Glasgow. This has also included catering for key events on behalf of GCVS.
In April this year Food for Thought Glasgow provided the catering services for the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance (GARA) Media Campaigns Conference. This was met with very positive feedback from attendees at the conference:
"It was a really good spread as i recall. Nice fresh food, a good variety and plenty of it. I think i went back for thirds!!"
