Community Sport Hubs Increase the Number of People Participating in Sport in Local Communities, Improve Access to Sport and Support Local Sport Clubs to Work Together Community sport hubs increase the number of people participating in sport in local communities, improve access to sport and support local sport clubs to work together.

  • Local Child Poverty Action Report Renfrewshire 2019/2020 Foreword
    Local Child Poverty Action Report Renfrewshire 2019/2020 Foreword This report sets out activities undertaken in Renfrewshire to reduce child poverty between April 2019 and March 2020. This, our second report, shows how we have built on the work we have carried out in previous years, and that which was reported last year in our first Local Child Poverty Action Report. The report has been jointly developed by Renfrewshire Council, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), and Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). It also includes information about partnership work to tackle child poverty across Renfrewshire’s Community Planning Partnership and beyond. Normally, the Local Child Poverty Action Report would cover future plans for the year ahead, however, from March 2020, the response to Covid-19 became a significant focus for the Council, the NHS and partners. Safeguarding families and individuals became increasingly vital within what is an ever-changing landscape. Our Council teams quickly put initial measures into place: providing payments to families in place of free school meals; relaxing Scottish Welfare Fund rules and quickly ensuring a supply of essential food and other items was in place for our most vulnerable families. This was supplemented by the forming of a Local Assistance Team, Neighbourhood Hubs and a Community Food group to help facilitate a Renfrewshire wide community response to Covid-19 issues. As the year continues we know we will have to deal with more unemployment and lower incomes in families from furloughing, continued shielding and protection of vulnerable people along with issues, financial and otherwise, caused by school closures.

PREFACE. ACTING upon the suggestion of the retiring Master and other prominent members of the Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire Hunt, I have ventured to produce an historical record which it is hoped will meet with the appreciation of those interested. For the description of the sport of the past twenty seasons I am greatly indebted to the diaries so perfectly kept by the late Mr. J. J. Barclay, which were kindly placed at my disposal by Mr. G. Barclay. Without such a valuable asset no work of this kind could ever have been attempted, and I have made the fullest possible use of these records, so that sportsmen and sportswomen of the last quarter of a century can refresh their memory in regard to the many great runs enjoyed during that period. I hope I have succeeded in an effort to furnish a complete and unvarnished account of the doings of the pack, together with a history of the Hunt since its origin. Possibly, at some future time, another enthusiast will take up the pen and bring the records up to date. Harry Judd (" Tantivy "). CONTENTS.

  • Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile
    Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit Claimant Profile April 2010 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings Renfrewshire Incapacity Benefit claimant Profile 1. This incapacity benefit (IB) claimant profile for Renfrewshire gives detailed information on IB claimants by sex, age, reason for claiming IB and length of time on IB. It also contains IB claimant rates for the 38 intermediate zones in Renfrewshire (in 2008, Paisley Ferguslie had the highest IB rate at 23.1% and Houston South the lowest rate at 2.8%). 2. In 2008 there were 10,800 IB claimants in Renfrewshire. The IB rate, on flow rate and off flow rate were determined for Renfrewshire from 2000 to 2008. The percent of the working age population claiming IB has decreased from 12.3% to 10.2% from 2000 to 2008. The rate of on flow has decreased from 3.5% to 2.6% and the off flow rate has increased from 25.0% to 28.5%. 3. The proportion of ‘payment’ IB claimants is larger in Renfrewshire compared to Scotland for both males and females. The proportion of male and female ‘credits only’ IB claimants (those with a poor work history) have increased from 2000 to 2008. There are more female ‘credits only’ claimants than males in Renfrewshire. 4. The proportion of each age group who are claimants rises with age, peaking in the 60-64 age group.

  • Administration and Divisions
    COMMUNICATIONS 1 45 The palmy days of canal traffic both for passengers and goods have passed away. As railways were extended the importance of canals declined. The complete explana- tion of this is by no means easy. It has been attributed to their passing into the control of railway companies, but this explanation is not satisfactory. The smallness of the vessels in use and the consequent additional handling of goods undoubtedly militate against the greater use of canals in these days, when the whole tendency is to handle and carry goods in as large amounts as possible. With the adoption of improved methods of traction or propulsion, there seems no good reason why the importance of canal traffic should not to some extent be restored. 21. Administration and Divisions. Renfrew was originally included with Lanark as an administrative unit, the .separation having been made by King Robert III at the beginning of the fifteenth century. At first the position of sheriff was a hereditary one, and was held by one of the powerful families of the county. The first sheriff that we know of was John Semple of Eliotstoun, who held office in 1426 soon after Renfrew and Lanark were separated. The office remained in the Semple family till it was transferred to the Earl of Eglinton in 1648. Until the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey of Paisley were not under the jurisdiction of the sheriff. The abbot was supreme, and had his gallows for hanging men, and his pit for drowning women M. R. 10 146 malefactors.

  • A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 Miles
    A WALK AROUND INCHINNAN - 2.5 miles The walk starts at the Normandy Hotel which is situated beside the White Cart. Normandy Hotel The hotel was completed in 1973 for the Reo Stakis Organisation. Legend has it that the architect’s drawing was numbered 1066 - hence the Normandy! Two stones, one the pediment and the other the base of a cross, are situated in front of the Normandy Hotel, enclosed behind iron railings. Argyll Stone & St Conval’s Chariot The pediment is known as the Argyll Stone. It is said that the Duke of Argyll rested on it in 1685 and was captured and taken to Edinburgh where he was beheaded. The base is known as St. Conval’s Chariot. St Conval is reputed to have floated from Ireland to Scotland on it. He founded his church across the River Cart at Inchinnan. The Silver Bell Horse Race of Paisley, instituted in 1620, "startit at the grey stane callit St. Convall's stane." The first winner, on 1st June 1620, was Hew Crawford of Cloberhill. Leaving the Normandy, walk to the river and the bascule bridge. Bascule Bridge The new stone bridge over the White Cart, which was opened in 1812, was too low to accommodate sailing ships as they became larger. This meant that ships sailing up the White Cart to Paisley had to lower their masts to pass through, so a canal was constructed in 1838 to divert ships through a swing bridge. In 1923 this was replaced with the present bascule bridge , built by Sir William Arrol & Company.
