Story

GGG is delighted to be able to offer the chance to zip through the air from our launch crane which is 150ft high aside the Glasgow Riverside Museum.

This is a fantastic way to see the landmarks of Glasgow from a fabulous vantage point.

Your sponsorship will directly help older adults living in Greater Glasgow who are affected by poverty, loneliness and isolation. Glasgows Golden Generation offers a range of support to Glasgows older population.

GGG runs three Day Care Centres, which focus on reducing loneliness and social isolation through activities, a three course lunch and entertainment during the week.

We also provide a Befriending Service where trained volunteers visit older adults in their homes, aiming to keep their clients more active and involved in their communities.

GGG supports over 100 weekly social clubs throughout Glasgow, providing a chance for the elderly to meet up regularly with peers.

In direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic, GGG introduced a new service to older adults. We rolled out a digital project which ensures older adults have access to technology, the internet and also a dedicated GGG app.

Finally, we offer professional benefits advice through our GGG Careline. Our skilled team of Welfare officers can guide you through the complicated benefits system and help you apply for a range of benefits and entitlements.
