Thanks go to Ken Dye for his continuing technical support. http://www.kibera.bourock.org.uk/ nd Sally, PCEA Kibera Parish Secretary, sent us the following report on 2 August: “The political situation is stable now and the new government is putting in a lot of effort. The inflation is a bit high though prices of some basic needs have been reduced by a small margin but we hope for better days to come. The weather is cold, with some drizzles. We are keeping warm.” Silanga High School’s Facebook page gave the following update on 20 th July: “Students started their mid-year exams this week. We expect to close for the August holidays during the week ending 9th August. So far the term has been good. Some of the achievements include our girls soccer team performance. We managed to reach the semi-finals in the district where we finished in the fourth position.” © Barrhead Church Kibera Project www.bourock.org.uk/kibera Charity No: SC 041915 Page 3 Don’t They Look Smart? Anyone who has seen photos of the Silanga High School pupils cannot fail to notice how smart they look in their school uniforms. Did you ever wonder: How do they get them all to wear these uniforms? And ….. How much does the uniform cost? Well, we never gave it a thought until Irene and the Reverend Moses’ visit. Irene advised that the students must wear the uniform or they are not allowed in school. She also said that the cost of the uniform is around £25 - £30, which is a barrier to some families and stops some potential students attending school. Those of us who congratulated ourselves that our sponsorship had made it possible for poorer children to attend school were taken aback. We had never considered the cost of school uniforms. We are planning to provide strawberry teas on Saturday 10 th August in Bourock Church hall or if the weather is nice, in the grounds. Proceeds will go to providing uniforms for Silanga School pupils. Tickets are priced £1.50. You can also help with this by taking a Smartie tube and filling it with £1 or 20p coins, after you have eaten the Smarties of course! These will be available in August too, and if you are a tax payer you can add even more money by filling out a Gift Aid form and putting your name on the filled tube. Jim Mitchell will be happy to give you the required form. Saturday 10 th August 2013 – 2 – 4pm Cream Tea @ Bourock – Tickets cost £1.50 © Barrhead Church Kibera Project www.bourock.org.uk/kibera Charity No: SC 041915 Page 4 .

  • Health Improvement in South West Glasgow a Rapid Appraisal
    Health Improvement in South West Glasgow A rapid appraisal Anne Scoular Specialist Registrar in Public Health Medicine January 2004 Health Improvement in SW Glasgow : a rapid appraisal Final Report: January 2004 Executive Summary Community Health Partnerships (CHPs) are fundamental elements of the new NHS structure in Scotland and 'Health improvement' will be one of their most important and fundamental objectives. However, 'health improvement' is an ill-defined concept, both in terms of its definition and the processes involved in achieving it. This paper describes the findings of a rapid appraisal of health improvement endeavour within two localities in Glasgow, one a SIP-designated area (Greater Pollok) and the second a non-SIP area (the Greater Shawlands LHCC geographical area, with consideration of the applicability of this evidence to design of CHPs in the Greater Glasgow NHS Board area. The work was conducted in the form of a short scoping exercise, which comprised three separate, but related sets of activity: • Documentary analysis of local policy, planning and evaluation papers • Selected routine data • Individual interviews with key staff in the Local Health Care Cooperatives (LHCCs), the SIP Board, relevant community projects, Health Promotion and Glasgow City Council Cultural & Leisure Services The rapid appraisal was specifically not intended to be an evaluation of health improvement activities. The work was scoping exercise described the strengths and weaknesses of existing activity, as understood from the perspective of those involved in delivery of the programmes. The key findings, and associated recommendations, were as follows : 1. 'Health improvement' has a wide diversity of meanings among the many individuals and agencies involved in activities seeking health improvement; misunderstandings are the norm.

Executive Summary The South Sector provides a range of Community and Hospital based mental health services to a population of 382 thousand people in South Glasgow. In the last year we have been referred over 5000 patients to our community services and have cared for 1,480 patients admitted to our in-patient services. As a Sector Team, we have continued to modernise and develop our services while seeking to deliver these within a challenging financial framework. Of particular significance this year was the extensive refurbishment of Florence Street Resource Centre which is due for completion in September 04 and promises to provide a spacious and modern environment for both staff and patients attending the service. Our thanks go to all of the staff who have worked long and hard over the last year to ensure that we continue to provide an excellent service to our clients and carers. Their contribution is captured in the reports from each of the wards and departments attached to this Sector Report. 2 Description Of Services 2.1 Demography of South Glasgow South Glasgow has a total population of around 382 thousand people.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 On 19th April 2012, the Executive Director of Development and Regeneration Services published a briefing paper on the results, for Glasgow, of the 2010-base population projections prepared by National Records of Scotland (NRS). The paper gave also the main results of the household projections, prepared by Council staff, based on the NRS population projections. 1.2 On 14th June 2012 NRS published a set of sub-national household projections, based on the same 2010-base population projections. There are some differences in the results of the two household projections (NRS projections and GCC variant). These differences will be briefly discussed in a later section of this paper. Unless stated otherwise, the household projection results presented in this paper are those of the GCC variant projections.

  • Our Local Plan at GHA for the Next Five Years
    Glasgow Housing Association Investing In Our Futures www.gha.org.uk Our local plan at GHA for the next five years Mosspark, Craigton, Bellahouston, Cardonald, Corkerhill, Central Pollok, Househillwood, Old Pollok and North Pollok GHA’s new five-year strategy, ‘Investing In Our Futures’, has been shaped by listening to feedback from our tenants about what is important to them. This leaflet tells you what this means for you and your local area between now and 2020. It sets out what local people told us their priorities were and what we plan to do in your community over the next five years. This leaflet covers the communities of Mosspark, Craigton, Bellahouston, Cardonald, Corkerhill, Central Pollok, Househillwood, Old Pollok and North Pollok. What you told us In developing the local plan we engaged with tenants on their priorities during our customer conversations, talked to people at community events and met with local groups. Better homes, better lives We heard feedback on the need to continue to invest in our homes and communities, particularly for tenants who have not had external improvements due to sharing blocks with owners and those that had been invested in pre-GHA. There was a strong feeling additional environmental improvements were needed for a number of communities, including fencing and open spaces. Some customers told us about the need for more homes of the right sizes within their area as some families were outgrowing their homes and were leaving the community. Other priorities included improving the repairs and maintenance service, tackling condensation and helping to address fuel poverty by installing more cost-efficient heating systems in some property types.

  • Parishes and Congregations: Names No Longer in Use
    S E C T I O N 9 A Parishes and Congregations: names no longer in use The following list updates and corrects the ‘Index of Discontinued Parish and Congregational Names’ in the previous online section of the Year Book. As before, it lists the parishes of the Church of Scotland and the congregations of the United Presbyterian Church (and its constituent denominations), the Free Church (1843–1900) and the United Free Church (1900–29) whose names have completely disappeared, largely as a consequence of union. This list is not intended to be ‘a comprehensive guide to readjustment in the Church of Scotland’. Its purpose is to assist those who are trying to identify the present-day successor of a former parish or congregation whose name is now wholly out of use and which can therefore no longer be easily traced. Where the former name has not disappeared completely, and the whereabouts of the former parish or congregation may therefore be easily established by reference to the name of some existing parish, the former name has not been included in this list. Present-day names, in the right-hand column of this list, may be found in the ‘Index of Parishes and Places’ near the end of the book. The following examples will illustrate some of the criteria used to determine whether a name should be included or not: • Where all the former congregations in a town have been united into one, as in the case of Melrose or Selkirk, the names of these former congregations have not been included; but in the case of towns with more than one congregation, such as Galashiels or Hawick, the names of the various constituent congregations are listed.

  • Full Neighbourhood Report
    PRIESTHILL/ HOUSEHILLWOOD Full Neighbourhood Report Establishing a baseline for the ‘community perception’ target set out within the Alcohol Theme of Glasgow’s Single Outcome Agreement ADP Glasgow City Alcohol and Drug Partnership www.ripple-effect.co.uk Methodology and Demographics • In 2014, Glasgow City Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) commissioned a repeat of the Ripple Effect research (originally undertaken in 2007) across 12 neighbourhoods in Glasgow City. The aim was to provide a baseline of progress towards achieving a reduction in levels of negative community perception of the impact of alcohol use on communities. Alcohol & Drug Community Engagers (ACEs) were trained and supported to undertake the research alongside the existing Prevention and Education service provider commissioned by NHSGGC and a commissioned research company. • Across the City, the research comprised a mixed method approach involving a survey of 2,618 community members (conducted face-to-face, online and self-completion) and 290 individuals taking part in qualitative research (either participatory appraisal methods or focus groups). • This is one of 12 neighbourhood reports, which outlines the results of the quantitative research in relation to Priesthill/Househilwood where 248 questionnaires were completed. There is also a report produced for South Glasgow which includes the results of 1,058 questionnaires and the qualitative research undertaken with 98 individuals across Govan, Greater Gorbals, Castlemilk and Priesthill/Househilwood. There is also a comprehensive report outlining the background/ introduction, methodology, results and conclusions/recommendations of the research in relation to Glasgow as a whole which can be accessed at www.ripple-effect.co.uk • The significant majority of respondents was female (67% versus 33% male).
