Number 18 / CamGlen Radi
description: The Old East Parish Church on Farmeloan Road first opened its doors in 1904. Like most churches during this time period its uses were not restricted to religious activities. Indeed, throughout its history the church hall played host to a literary society, Women?s Meetings and even hosting a TV showing of the Queen?s Coronation to a packed out hall. It was in 1983 that the Rutherglen and Cambuslang Housing Association took ownership of the building and converted the hall into offices while the construction of the Aspire Business Centre was completed. In 2014 First Minister Alex Salmond announced new capital funding investment as part of the Commonwealth Games Legacy. With the help of Clyde Gateway, Healthy n Happy were able to purchase the building and work towards creating an exciting new community venue. It was the following year that Healthy n Happy were able to move into the premises. Following a complete refurbishment, a new community hub, Number 18 was ready to open its doors to the public. Our two ground floor meeting rooms are perfect for large gatherings or private one to ones. Fitted with Smart board technology the larger room is also great for courses and classes. Upstairs our events and venue space can be used for a range of purposes, including live music, arts n crafts and movie nights. The third floor is home to Cambuslang and Rutherglen?s community radio station, CamGlen Radio 107.9FM. Up there you can normally find its friendly volunteer?s interviewing an up and coming band, preparing shows or creating a new jingle.
