Cornerstone

Team North Lanarkshire recently hosted their annual Christmas Party at the Bank Social Club and everyone was in the festive mood! They even had a visit from the big man himself as Mr Claus appeared with selection boxes for the people we support.

The Shared Lives teams came together this week for a Christmas gathering at XSite in Glasgow! They had an amazing evening bowling together and had a delicious festive buffet spread.

Our Moray services have been getting into the festive spirit. Clare, Lynda, Kyle and their support team from our Wardend service and Team Quebec have been busy getting their homes Christmas ready. Well done everyone your trees look beautiful 🎅🏻💙

We had a wonderful time in our Glasgow Office at our monthly people we support event. The Christmas tree was decorated, the karaoke and bingo machines were on and everyone was in great spirits! Check out these photos of Elizabeth, Gavin and Johnhaving a sing and boogie!

Earlier this month Sharon and Mags from our Keswick service had a surprise festive visit from Elf and the Grinch himself! They loved their festive guests and had a fantastic day.

Giving Tuesday was created as a simple idea: a day that encourages to do good. In the last decade, the idea has grown into a global movement that inspires people to give and celebrate generosity. Why not think about giving to Cornerstone this Christmas? buff.ly/3ZruAYl
