We’ve been doing this for almost a year now, and it turns out that sitting half naked in a hot room with strangers is really good for you actually!

Introducing our incredible new site manager: Vic Henderson! They’ve already brought so much to their role at GCS: you’ve probably had a giggle with them or seen their smart handiwork around site. We are buzzing they are a part of the team.

“My name is Vic and I am from Glasgow. Over the years I have spent my time playing in bands, cooking, making furniture and drinking coffee. I love cooking outdoors on an open flame and I am always fine-tuning my bagel recipe. I enjoy kicking about on old 90s mountain bikes and taking photos with classic point and shoot cameras. I grow vegetables to cook with in my allotment too.
 
One of the first times I went in a sauna was not long after my top surgery. The lochside sauna we used was booked out for a small group of friends, and we spent three hours alternating between the amazing wood fired sauna and the ice-cold loch. It felt like nothing I had experienced before and ignited my love for saunas.

I’ve followed the journey of Glasgow Community Sauna with a lot of enthusiasm and have enjoyed watching it come together with the support of the community and its volunteers. The work of the GCS aligns with many of my interests, like community project work, making, building and meeting interesting people. The sauna and its great atmosphere is a special place for everyone - guests and staff!”
