Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the fantastic contribution that millions of volunteers make across the UK. To mark this event and thank their volunteers North West Locality staff organised an award ceremony and lunch for volunteers followed by a visit to the Tall Ship, Riverside.

The First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon MSP, officially opened the new South Community Recovery Network (SCRN) Aftercare Centre in the Gorbals, South Glasgow on Friday 27 April 2018.

There is good evidence that volunteering brings benefits to both the person volunteering and the people and organisations they support.  Volunteering means choosing to spend time unpaid doing something to help other people or groups, other than (or as well as) close relatives.

South Alcohol, Drugs and Recovery Service (ADRS) is an Integrated Community Addiction Team, where health and social care staff work together to provide addiction support to some of the most vulnerable and complex Service Users within the South of Glasgow.

An innovative Photovoice exhibition from North West Recovery Communities (NWRC) took place in the Buchanan Galleries during the last week of January.  The event was held in the “Good” a store managed by the Kibble children’s charity.
