Learning at the Albany
The Albany Centre's main purpose is to serve the learning and development needs of Glasgow's voluntary and community organisations, their 14,000 paid staff and the estimated 40,000 Glaswegian volunteers.
That is why Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector has based its learning teams at the Albany. Over time, GCVS intends that the Albany becomes the sector's very own place for lifelong learning activities.
At the Albany, community organisations and groups - staff, boards, and volunteers - from all parts of the city will be able to meet together, learn new skills, take part in targeted courses, fully share knowledge and good practice.
