✨ PlayPLUS Highlights ✨
We’ve had some lovely creative moments with our PlayPLUS group recently!
🎅 Photo 1: One young person felt PlayPLUS deserved an early visit from Santa! With staff support, he crafted a fantastic custom beard using a paper plate and cotton wool, before handing out delicious chocolate cupcakes he made earlier in the session. Such a sweet gesture that brought plenty of smiles!
🕰 Photo 2: Another young person PLUSYouth, who has a real passion for clock towers, worked with staff to build his very own version of the King Street clock tower. It even featured real bells (a great find from the coordinator cupboard!) and a mini paper figure of himself inside. With a little help drawing the front, he then completed the other sides independently, he was incredibly proud of his creation, and rightly so!
💛 Amazing creativity, teamwork, and kindness on show from everyone involved!

Shout out to Keren!🎉 A parent of one of our young people, who is preparing to undertake a courageous challenge. Turning forty next year, she has decided to celebrate by taking on a grueling 40 miles walk along the Clyde all in one day whilst raising money for PLUS.

The walk itself is along the river Clyde starting in Glasgow and ending in New Lanark. It’s going to be tough! Keren is giving herself a year to prepare for it.
The date of her walk will be May 1st, 2027, just before her fortieth birthday. In the meantime, she has set up a GoFundMe page in order to start fundraising. We are so grateful to Keren for thinking about us and are excited to hear how she gets on. If you would like to contribute to Keren’s brave fundraiser visit
