Supporting people experiencing alcohol and drug harms

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) commissions three recovery communities covering the North West, North East and South of the city.

Recovery groups set up by lived experience peers have operated independently throughout Glasgow for more than 20 years. They’ve developed to become larger communities that together promote and deliver recovery initiatives, to support people experiencing alcohol and drug harms in each sector of the city.

Glasgow City HSCP Staff Awards for Excellence 2025 – Well done to all!

Dedicated staff and volunteers from across Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) were recognised at our Staff Awards for Excellence 2025, held at the City Chambers on 14 March.

The awards recognise and celebrate individual staff, teams and projects who have ‘gone the extra mile’ in their work in several categories.

Both health and social work staff working within our HSCP were eligible to be nominated. There was also a category for volunteers, and individuals not employed by us could also be nominated.

Maximising Independence projects – supporting people and communities

As the maximising independence approach continues to become our ‘business as usual’ way of doing things across the HSCP, it’s helping us to achieve a fair and easier way for people to access support and prioritise what’s most important to them. Two particular maximising independence projects are already having an impact.
