ENABLE Glasgow aims to empower people with learning disability to get the most from life.
Fortune Works encourages people to become involved in the local community through various projects and achieves a balance between group activities and individual timetables. We offer 125 full time placements to adults with learning disability from all over the City. The project is also a source of vital social support for those who take part. We liaise closely with families, statutory sector professionals, and agencies which provide community support in order to make this as effective as possible. Fortune Works can receive referrals from any source, but any admissions require to be approved by the relevant statutory authority (usually the Social Work Department). We are also very proud to be part of the Drumchapel community, and of the fact that our service users are playing a direct part in its regeneration.

🌟 CSR Opportunity: Help Us Transform Our New Wellbeing Room! 🌟
We’re reaching out to local businesses and organisations who are looking for a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility opportunity that makes a real difference in the community.
At Fortune Works, we’re creating a brand‑new Wellbeing Room a calm, uplifting space for relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. The room is ready… it just needs a fresh coat of paint to bring it to life over the next few weeks.
If your team would like to roll up their sleeves, spend a day volunteering, and help us create something truly special, we’d love to hear from you. It’s a brilliant team‑building activity with a lasting impact.
🎨 What we need: A team of volunteers to help paint and refresh the space.
💙 What you’ll be supporting: Help the team benefit from a dedicated wellbeing environment.
📩 If your organisation is interested, please message us directly or email us on fortuneworks@enableglasgow.org.uk we’d be delighted to chat.
Happy to talk any sponsorship opportunity also if that’s of interest

Our community gardening team spent an afternoon planting bulbs at the Covid Memorial in Drumchapel Park last week 🌼.
Well done for making the park a more welcoming place for all! We can’t wait to see the colour they’ll bring in the months ahead!

Growing Together 🌿 Glasgow City Council
During summer 2025 we worked on a very successful Scottish Alliance for Food - SCAF funded research project with Enactus, a Glasgow University Society made up of a team of researchers and students.
The project explored how growing microgreens can support healthy, sustainable living and inclusive participation for people with learning disabilities. Over the course of the research project, we met new people, learned about healthy eating and gained new gardening skills!
To support this research, we’d really appreciate it if you could complete the short survey below. ⏬
A lovely achievement to round off the year — we’re proud to have earned a Level 5 ‘Outstanding’ It’s Your Neighbourhood Award from Keep Scotland Beautiful!
Huge congratulations and thanks to everyone who played a part in making our community a greener, cleaner and more welcoming place💚
