National Volunteers’ Week takes place from 1 to 7 June every year and is a celebration across the UK of all the contributions volunteers make within their community.

A recent learning day is helping Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) and our partners discuss the positives and challenges of Housing First in Glasgow. 

Huge congratulations to our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP)’s Housing First Service, which was one of three finalists in the Excellence in Adult Services Category, at the Scottish Social Services Awards, held on 9 November in Glasgow.

Leanne Black has been appointed to the first Pharmacist Consultant Development Post in Scotland, focused on improving the care of people living with frailty.

Works to improve six of Glasgow’s community health and care centres are being rolled-out, with a focus on improving consultation and clinical areas as well as improvements to office and admin spaces.

Some of Glasgow’s most vulnerable communities have been getting boosted at the Lodging House Mission in the city centre.

One of the first major responses to the COVID-19 pandemic has also proven to be one of the most effective, providing vital frontline support for thousands of patients, and protecting the health service from being overwhelmed by the virus.
