Community Links Workers are critical in supporting frontline GP services and putting money in peoples' pockets during the cost-of-living crisis. Glasgow HSCP and ScotGov must agree a deal to protect posts and the service before Christmas. #SaveCLPs #FMQs Paul Sweeney

Had a brilliant Saturday with Bluevale Community Club for the reopening of the Reidvale Centre. Janice Merrick and I enjoyed spreading the word that you can sing to breathe at our Dennistoun Pauline Waugh group. Particularly loved the new 80s themed Rewind Cafe. Lunch anyone?
