CHARITIES in Drumchapel could be waiting months before being able to work from their community base again - despite being locked out for more than a year. The Drumchapel Community Centre - which is home to multiple charities including 3D Drumchapel, G15 Youth Group and Thriving Places - was closed following the initial lockdown last March. Local groups were hopeful they would be able to resume activities as restrictions began to ease, however, a newly opened walk-through testing site has prompted fears of yet another lengthy delay. 3D Drumchapel CEO Sharon Colvin said: ”This leaves us with nowhere to deliver our services at this time when families really need us the most . we are concerned it is not a building on the list to be reopened by Glasgow Life going forward.
A FAMILY support charity has released its first book for children to enjoy in Drumchapel. The book had been in the pipeline for a while with the team at 3D Drumchapel working hard behind the scenes to turn their dream into a reality. The book is based on the adventures of their mascot Waddles around the area. The book, “The Wonderful World of Waddles”, tells the story of the loveable penguin and his family with illustrations of buildings in the area such as the Drumchapel Water Tower. The book had been illustrated by local artist Tanith Diggory, who attends 3D parent and child sessions with her little boy.
