Annexe Communities began life as Partick Community Association in 1986. Residents petitioned Glasgow City Council and secured the lease of The Annexe building in Stewartville Street in 1998. Lottery funding enabled the community association to establish a thriving and enterprising Healthy Living Centre. The healthy eating café became the hub – as it is today, serving the local community healthy and affordable meals. Glasgow City Council's funding also enabled residents' access to health and wellbeing activities.
