Now known as the Overnight Welcome Centre, the emergency accommodation for people at risk of rough sleeping in winter will be provided in a Glasgow hotel, rather than in Lodging Housing Mission in East Campbell Street.

A brand-new multi-agency advice and support hub for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness was opened on 24 September in Glasgow’s Argyle Street.

Staff and service users at the Glasgow City HSCP Chara Centre in Possilpark have been using the good weather during lockdown to maintain the centre’s garden. 

The social work centre provides emergency homeless accommodation for 27 females from all walks of life and cultures.

Ann Forsyth is a Programme Manager, Primary Care Improvement Plan for Glasgow City HSCP, who is currently the Service Manager at the new COVID-19 Assessment Centre in Barr Street in North West Glasgow.

Kenny Lang, a Local Area Co-ordinator with the Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership, recently had to ‘think outside the box’ about how to support one of his families to help reduce social isolation during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown.

As part of a planned series of improvements to urgent primary care services, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde has introduced a new appointments system within its GP out-of-hours service on a permanent basis.

Teams across the council family have been working hard throughout lockdown to make sure that there are enough temporary furnished flats available for homeless households who need them.

Lockdown didn't stop one of Scotland's oldest women celebrating her 107^th birthday at a Glasgow care home on 14 May.

New dad, Michael Wright, plans to jump out of a plane at 10,000ft to thank Glasgow's Housing First scheme for helping him rebuild his life after homelessness.

Huge congratulations to Catherine Craigie who celebrated her 100th birthday in style on Wed 15th April, despite the Coronavirus lockdown.
