We’re very excited to announce the launch of shmu Supports, an initiative which will disperse grants of between £500 and £2000 to any constituted community-based group which operates in Aberdeen, with a priority on groups who support residents in the regeneration areas of the city. 

The volunteers involved with the Woodside Free Press community magazine and the support team at shmu are passionate about continuing their magazine during this time. Woodside Free Press is put together by volunteers in partnership with shmu and its purpose is to share important local information, celebrate the community and encourage positive social change around the issues the community is passionate about. 

We’re trying to understand how the sector is currently operating (and realise that is now changing on a daily, even hourly, basis), where there are gaps and how they are bridged, and how we can target those gaps.
