Bangladesh Association Glasgow, in collaboration with UnityFlow AI, presented “An introduction to AI workflow” on 26th October 2025.

Bangladesh Association Glasgow held its Summer Outing on 9th August 2025 at the picturesque grounds of Strathclyde Country Park. Good weather (not something that can be said often when we are in Scotland!), delicious food (freshly grilled BBQ) and fantastic company made it an enjoyable day for all that attended.

People’s Palace Museum is being renovated and Bangladesh Association Glasgow has been approached by Isobel McDonald, Glasgow Life, to contribute to its content. Few of our EC committee members, including our two Trustees (Dr Tareq Abdullah & Dr Saif D Khan) held a meeting with Isobel on 6th September 2025 to discuss various topics that have impacted the Bangladeshi community in Glasgow over the years. We look forward to working with Glasgow Life to make a positive contribution towards this project. If you want to get involved, please get in touch with us. Thanks
