Our Glasgow North West (NW) team have been busy bringing people together through a new peer support group: Circle of Friends. Set up earlier in 2019, it aims to bring together individuals who are experiencing loneliness and social isolation through activities and group meetings.
This year’s schedule has already included sailing on loch Katrine, a day trip to Luss & Tarbet, a visit to the Gurdwara (the largest Sikh temple in Scotland) and the Falkirk Wheel, creative arts and crafts sessions, and even taking part in Reiki classes – to name but a few.
As relationships have grown and people have become more comfortable with each other, the group have started ‘skill swapping’. This involves sharing knowledge, skills and experiences which facilitates learning and helps further strengthen connections between people. It is fantastic to see people feeling able to open up like this with each other; and is tangible evidence of the success and impact of Circle of Friends.
