Flourish House
Flourish House is based in an elegant Category B Listed building, built around 1900 & designed by Glasgow-based architect Eric Alexander Sutherland. At the time, Ashley Street was called West Cumberland Street, and the building was purpose-built as a Church & Church Hall; New City Road Congregational Church. The building remained in use as a church until around 1949, when it was converted to offices. It features an elegant frontage and beautiful vaulted ceiling. The building became Flourish House in 2007, a mental health recovery community based on the International Clubhouse Model – the only organisation of its kind in Scotland; we offer support to people with long-term mental illnesses, enabling them to gain a sense of well-being and recover confidence. We also encourage people to learn new skills to achieve social, financial and vocational goals and become active participants in the community. We’d like to invite you along to experience the warm welcome and supportive, diverse community that is Flourish House – enjoy a cup of tea and cake in the cafe and relax in our newly renovated garden!

EXIT is a fully operating DIY, independent and artist run club and arts space which was opened in September 2023. The building on Maxwell St was once home to Fury Murry’s in the late 80s and 90s, and then repurposed into a strip club. The space has a lot of character, with the majority of the strip club interiors remaining largely intact. EXIT has a strong DIY ethos, platforming and growing the local scene and creative community here in Glasgow.
