Tackling Loneliness: Meet the army of volunteers preparing Christmas Day to bring a little bit of festive cheer
Heart of Scotstoun group By Deborah Anderson EVERY Friday you could hear the laughter and chatter coming from a pensioners’ lunch club as old pals caught up with one another and shared stories. The lively meeting was something the regulars at the Hearty Lunch Club, run by community group Heart of Scotstoun in Glasgow, looked forward to. However, when lockdown struck the shutters came down on the club and its people found themselves isolated in their homes. Knowing that some of the more vulnerable members of the community might be in need a bit of help, the Heart of Scotstoun volunteers turned their service around to become a meal delivery service.
