What does the #SpringStatement mean for you?
The Chancellor’s announcements have major implications for social security, economic growth, and public spending. But what do the changes really mean - especially for people in Glasgow, and for Scotland's third sector?

We heard from GCVS members working in #SocialCare in Glasgow during a roundtable with @mareetodd.bsky.social. Members discussed the disconnect between national policy and local delivery, and the very real funding challenges facing many in the sector who play such a vital role in communities.

Our Multicultural Language Class was a great success! Participants learned Twi, embracing culture, language & identity together. While parents engaged in learning, kids enjoyed an animated film. A fantastic day celebrating unity! 🌍❤️

Was just thinking about this a couple of days ago because I couldn’t find my work van in a US parking lot amongst all the enormous SUVs, er, GCVs.

My work van—a vehicle which actually carries a lot of stuff—was practically hidden.

The 2017 van gets 26 mpg fully loaded btw. Wish it was better.
