Shannon’s Box brings comfort to children and young people in care

Last month, our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) launched Shannon’s Box. The box will be distributed to every child and young person in Glasgow who is currently in care or is coming into care.

Shannon’s Box was originally created by a care experienced young person from East Ayrshire to try and make entering care a little bit easier. The idea of Shannon’s Box was then introduced to two care experienced twins from Glasgow – Emma and Alan.

Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Scheme expands across Glasgow

Breastfeeding is important to the health of both mother and baby. While many new mums start breastfeeding, some stop within a few weeks or months. This is often because they feel there’s a lack of support, particularly when they want to feed their baby outside their home. 

Congratulations to both Tesco Silverburn, which is the first supermarket in Glasgow, and Glasgow Caledonian University, the first University in Scotland, to sign up to the Breastfeeding Friendly Scotland Scheme (BFS).
