February 2020

Welcome to the February 2020 Newsletter. This month we cover the Social Work Services Long Service Milestone Awards, which took place at the City Chambers on 19 February. We have a special focus on Gartnavel Royal Hospital, looking at the activities organised by staff to enhance the experiences of patients.  We also celebrate the opening of the new Victoria Gardens Care Home and the new Woodside Day Care Centre.

Woodside Day Care Centre Officially Opened

Glasgow City HSCP’s Woodside Day Care Centre, located next to the Partnership’s new Woodside Health and Care Centre, was officially opened by Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council on 5 February 2020.

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. They are collected from home each morning and driven to the centre in Hinshaw Street where they enjoy lunch and activities before heading home.

Item No.9 - Scottish Living Wage

The purpose of this report is to outline the issues related to the Scottish Government’s financial settlement to local authorities for 2016/17 specifically related to the provision of the Scottish Living Wage to social care workers within adult social care services. The report also makes proposals for the Glasgow City Integration Joint Board and the City Council to address these issues in a fair and equitable way within the available resource

Maximising Income - Benefits

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.
