Glasgow’s Golden Generation has been supporting older adults across Glasgow for the past 70+ years. The charity runs three Day Care Centres, which focus on reducing social isolation through communal meals and activities each day of the week.
Our Befriending Service supports over 100 clubs throughout Glasgow, providing a chance for the elderly to meet up regularly with peers. We also send out Befriending Volunteers who visit older adults in their homes, aiming to keep their clients more active and involved in their communities.
Finally, we offer professional benefits advice; our skilled team of Welfare officers can guide you through the complicated benefits system, and help you apply for a range of benefits and entitlements.
The charity is only able to continue its work in communities of Glasgow thanks to the generosity of its supporters. There are many ways of supporting Glasgow’s Golden Generation: through the giving of donations, fundraising events, runs and challenges.
We also run 2 charity shops in Glasgow’s West End and Southside, which both offer a friendly retail experience, a free collection service and house clearances.
