When it comes to active and sustainable travel, our staff at Leverndale Hospital, Glasgow have got on their bikes and made things happen – for the benefit of patients and the nearby community.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have such family support around them. So a new pilot project, based on the successful ‘Family Group Decision Making’ approach with children and young people, is being launched in Glasgow to replicate elements of the family support circle.
