(Formally - Firrhill Welfare Committee)

We have-

• Raised funds and organized events for the benefit of the people who attend Firrhill Centre.
• Underwritten the Firrhill Therapy Service which provides a range of alternative therapies at subsidized rates.
• Organized events such as Open Days and the Xmas Party.
  
  

We have also raised further funds to operate additional services. We are particularly interested in 'gaps' in services for people with physical disabilities.

Among those we have identified are:

• A need for people with physical disabilities: advocacy. We know of many cases where people in vulnerable positions need someone to help them stand up for their rights.
• The need for arts based projects (e.g. Music.) We know these can be a great help in developing confidence from a low starting point.
• The healthy living agenda - Lifestyle choices in the areas of exercise and food can have a positive effect on peoples lives.

We are always looking for new ideas. Let us know if there is any area you think we need to develop.

Since the re-branding of our charity, we have raised around £15,000 towards projects of this type, and we plan to increase that in the coming years.
