| My name is Guy. I joined
the day centre many years ago. I remember meeting in a
house, the time was around 1950's. For transport my dad
organised this. He worked the Sunday night organising
transport for Tuesday. At this time all our parents took
part in organising things for the centre to keep running.
There was no ramps for the buses or tracking, some
clients had to be tied in with a rope (Mind you we were
all a bit lighter then ha! ha!) |

| Hi my name
is Margaret. I have been coming to the centre
for many years. I live in my own flat in Shawlands I
share with my friend Pat. I come to the centre 4 days a
week. I enjoy activities such as Arts and crafts,
Women’s achievers and Stow College. I enjoy the
centre as I like the people there. It stops me getting
bored. I also attend social nights when we go to the
pictures, bowling, theatre etc. |

I am Alison. I joined the centre in 1997.During
my time I have met a lot of friends, Angela Barnes was
the day centre manager when I came here, Margaret Barr
was the senior in my time here. I have seen a lot of
changes (for the better).Things at the centre are
progressing well, I have learned a lot of things about
myself. I have a wider range of activities including
outside activities i.e. College, project ability etc. |

| My
name is Janet. I am one of the new one’s
although I have been coming to the centre for about 10
years. I like to come to the centre to see all my pals
and do activities such as knitting. My other favourite is
art which is on a Friday where we have an artist called
Aileen she comes in and teaches us new crafts, designs
and new techniques in doing art. I love cookery also
which I do at Stow College and Martha’s exercise
class is a hoot! We have social nights once a month and I
really look forward to these, in fact try and stop me
from coming to the centre and I’ll crack up! |

| My
name is Ann McGoldrick and I am 56 years old and
have been coming to the centre for 40 years. I have been
living in Forrest House for a year and love it. I love
coming to the centre because I love having a chat to
other clients and staff and if I have a problem I can go
to a member of staff as I feel very comfortable talking
to them. I go to Stow College on a Monday also I attended
the hydro which I love because the physio is a man! I
also do an exercise class, I don’t like doing it but
once I've started I do enjoy it. I have a key worker
Martha and a link mate Kate and they make sure all my
care plan is up to date. |
