COMMUNITY THEATRE

Our Community Theatre partner is TRAM Direct. The company works with the local community offering opportunities to be part of Community Drama either in an acting capacity or behind the scenes with wardrobe, stage management, sound, lighting or front of house. We encourage volunteers and recognise that involvement in the performing arts can offer an opportunity to enhance self-confidence, self-esteem and to also have an enjoyable time in the process.

C.H.A.T INITIATIVE

CHAT is a campaign created to encourage people to stay safe on nights out.

The word CHAT is an acronym for a series of key safety messages and general advice on how to keep in contact with friends and get home safely on nights-out

To promote CHAT, which is supported by Police Scotland, Community Safety Glasgow and Glasgow Taxis, safety cards with useful contact details will be issued to customers visiting the club. Information will also be launched on social media and The Shed’s website.

We all have a moral obligation, in one way or another, to protect and support vulnerable people so that no harm will come to them on a night-out. CHAT is our way of highlighting the importance of keeping in contact with friends and the measures we have in place to ensure people get home safely.

In addition to the above we actively involve ourselves with local business associations, community council, local residents, fundraising campaigns and local events such as the Southside fringe to help promote and drive Shawlands in a socially responsible way along with being a key business and employer in the local area.

If you feel there is an area we can improve or think we can be of a positive benefit please email us on contact@shedglasgow.com

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Shed is committed to developing a diverse, equal and truly inclusive venue.

The Shed believes that our venue is for all and that society benefits the most when we value and celebrate diversity in our community and when we ensure that everyone can engage with and share in the experience free of hate or exclusion.

The Shed celebrates and encourages diversity amongst all its contributors, including customers, suppliers, partners, stakeholders and staff, and is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment in which differences and the contributions of everyone are recognised and valued.

The Shed strives to provide equality and fairness for all and is committed to the ongoing review of its policies, employment practices and procedures.

The Shed has committed to undertake inclusion training with every member of staff, both existing and new whereby we will lay out our company values including the concepts and implementation of our Equal opportunities, discrimination and Hate crime policies within the company. This is supplement by a HR support package prepared for us by our HR parntners and available to every member of staff from day one.

By working closely with Best Bar None and Police Scotland we have been able to provide our staff with invaluable training and resources around a range of social issues including, among many, Adult Mental Health Awareness, Vulnerable Persons Awareness and Hate Crime. To bolster the resources that have been afforded to us we now have in place a trained “Vulnerable Persons Steward” and a “Welfare Officer” who has been specifically trained in Mental Health awareness and vulnerable persons in order to give them the skills to proactively identify potential issues within our teams.

We have independently reached out to the Equality Network, a national resource providing many resources including comprehensive gender training for our management, supervisors and security personnel providing an open and friendly approach to Equality and empowering our staff to provide a gender inclusive experience and allowing us to create our own bespoke inclusive policies.
