Woodside Day Care Centre Officially Opened

The purpose built centre provides activities such as armchair bowls, dominos, bingo, yoga, quizzes, arts and crafts and outings. People usually attend for one, two or three days a week.

A new campaign to raise awareness of how people can claim the benefits that they are entitled to has been launched by the South Locality of Glasgow City HSCP. Working with third sector providers and Money Matters, events were held in February outside of Silverburn shopping centre in Pollok where people could discuss benefits available with Welfare Rights Officers.
