Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland (CNS) conducted new research on the perspectives of service providers in the third sector and public sector, including frontline professionals working in local neighbourhoods and managers working at a strategic level across the city. The findings provide insights into the impacts of COVID-19 on children and families and how services have collaborated across sectors to respond to the urgent needs of communities and families during the pandemic. Key messages Glasgow city context • Families, children and young people living in Glasgow neighbourhoods with high levels of pre- existing poverty and social deprivation are more vulnerable to the negative social and economic effects of lockdown and the extended period of recovery. These impacts include increased income insecurity, greater reliance on the benefit system and weaker labour market attachment. • Reduced access to health and social care services experienced during lockdown is likely to have long-term health impacts on some families and children living in areas of social deprivation. • Many families previously in work have fallen into financial crisis as a result of the pandemic. There has been a rapid increase in the number of people now on Universal Credit across Glasgow and there are concerns that many of these new families in poverty are not known to public services. Family wellbeing • Families who in normal circumstances are under constant financial pressure have had the additional costs of looking after children at home alongside experiencing delays to government financial support such as Universal Credit or furlough payments. • The interlinked nature of different stressors on families has been highlighted by this crisis. Financial insecurity, furlough and unemployment, coupled with home-schooling, the pressures of childcare, and the uncertainty over schools reopening and availability of childcare has added to the anxiety felt by parents. • The length of social isolation may have long-term effects on mental health and wellbeing. Service professionals are concerned about the need to support families to reconnect with their communities, teachers, health professionals and other key workers. Service responses • The positivity, energy and ‘can do’ attitude of third sector organisations during this pandemic was striking. Emergency food provision was organised within hours of lockdown being announced. Third sector organisations had to adapt rapidly and provide a different type of service to ensure that families were still receiving support under lockdown. This change occurred across all service areas. • Service professionals across sectors demonstrated their compassion and energy to help communities in Glasgow suffering the worst effects of the crisis. This was evident in the willingness of volunteers redeployed from other services to support the Glasgow Helps helpline and the additional work and responsiveness of officers in the public sector. 3 Collaboration • Many third sector workers recognised the historic significance of the COVID-19

Port Dundas was one of the founding members of the grain distillers’ conglomerate DCL. Port Dundas later went on to merge with its neighbouring distillery, Cowlairs and another one in 1902, Dundashill. Port Dundas produced grain whisky for many blended whisky brands owned by Diageo such as, Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's, Black & White, Vat 69, Haig and White Horse. The site would produce an astonishing 39 million litres of spirit each year before it was shut indefinitely. Sadly after a century of distilling, in 2010 Diageo made the decision to focus their efforts on grain production and expaned Cameronbridge side, and in 2011 production ceased and the site was demolished.
