Item No.3 - Draft Minutes of IJB held on 24/06/2016
Draft Minutes of meeting held on 24 June 2016
Glasgow's Winter Night Shelter now open with a change of name and a new location.
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.
This move is due to the current Coronavirus pandemic and will enable people to physically distance and if necessary, socially isolate. This would not have been possible at the usual location which offers dormitory style accommodation.

Staff at Balmore Ward Donate Christmas Presents to Women’s Aid
Generous Glasgow City HSCP staff working in Balmore Ward at Leverndale Hospital decided this year to forego the usual staff tradition of giving presents to each other by Secret Santa and instead donated their presents to the women and children being supported by Renfrewshire Women’s Aid.
The amount of presents collected shows that staff clearly went way beyond what they would normally purchase for each other.
