Smoothies!!!



Last night was time for some fresh and healthy smoothies. We used strawberries, bananas, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit, pineapple, mango, natural yoghurt and vanilla ice-cream to make the best smoothies in Glasgow. We couldn't get enough of them!

Gamblers Anonymous Scotland





Two representatives from 'Gamblers Anonymous Scotland' visited our 'personal development and employability' group today to speak about the issues they have encountered through gambling. The discussion that developed throughout the session was thought provoking and gave a real insight into the impact gambling can have on an individual's life and the damage it can do to their relationships with friends and family. We really appreciated Charles and Steven taking the time to speak to members of the DRC.

Working in Partnership with Blairdardie Youth Project


The DRC have been working in partnership with Blairdardie Youth Project.



On Tuesday evenings we have been working together with young people in Blairdardie Pavillion. 


This cross community initiative has seen young people from Yoker and Blairdardie socialising and participating during a number of team activities. 


Pancake day was magic! Some great efforts made by our team.
