Community Engagement & Events

Building Stronger Connections Across Communities

At Bestway Community Development, we bring people together through inclusive events, workshops, and celebrations that strengthen understanding and unity across cultures. Our community engagement work gives people the opportunity to meet, learn, and celebrate together β€” helping neighbours build friendships, share experiences, and create positive change in the places they proudly call home.

Why It Matters

Strong communities are built through connection, understanding, and shared experiences.
Our engagement activities reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and encourage people from all backgrounds to work together.
By creating spaces where people can listen, learn, and celebrate diversity, we help build a fairer and more welcoming North Lanarkshire.

Recent Highlights
