The Glad Cafe


We are forever thankful to Resilient Scotland for the lifesaving loan they gave to us in 2017. Without this investment, there would likely be no Glad Cafe and therefore, no Glad Foundation - our charity providing affordable music tuition and workshops - and no Glad Rags - our second hand clothes shop. Even though The Glad Cafe is a bustling and busy cafe, music venue and bar, certain circumstances and increases in overheads like business rates hikes, have made building a financially viable business increasingly difficult. Thanks to Resilient Scotland, the future of The Glad Cafe and its sister ventures is safe.

To support working capital requirements and to assist with salary costs for the venue assistant

Due to the current Coronovirus pandemic, we have taken the difficult decision to close to new applications for the foreseeable future, in order that we can concentrate our limited resources on our current investees.  We will regularly review this decision and seek to reopen to applications as soon as can.
