Our Family Liaison Officer at Kings Park has delivered a fantastic Summer Programme, providing young people with opportunities to learn, explore new places, build friendships and create lasting memories during the school holidays.☀️🎉

Throughout the summer, the group enjoyed a range of exciting trips and activities, including visits to the Riverside Museum, Pollok Park, Ayr Beach, Kelvin Hall, the BBC, Polmadie Fire Station and the Glasgow Science Centre.

Back at school, there was plenty of fun too, with a movie day, a water fight and giant Snakes and Ladders bringing lots of laughter and smiles.

Here's a look back at some of the highlights from a brilliant summer!🚀⚡🤍

It is with great sadness that we share details of the funeral of our much-loved colleague and friend, Janie Thompson.

Janie was a valued and highly respected member of the FARE family. Her warmth, kindness and dedication touched the lives of so many people, and her loss is felt deeply across our organisation and wider community.

At the request of Janie’s family, we are extending a heartfelt invitation to anyone who would like to attend her funeral:
Date: 20th August 2026
Time: 1pm
Location: Daldowie Crematorium

Janie's family have also asked that those attending wear a colour they associate with Janie, should they wish to do so, as a reflection of the joy, warmth and individuality she brought to so many lives.

Janie made a lasting impact on our organisation and on the people who had the privilege of knowing her. We hope that coming together to remember her will provide some comfort as we honour her memory and celebrate the remarkable person, she was.

Our Sports Course has been full of energy over the last few weeks!⚽🏃‍♂️

During weeks 2 and 3, the young people focused on physical preparation, learning the importance of warm-ups and cool-downs before and after physical activity. They also took part in a range of physical tests, including agility, flexibility, coordination and speed, recording each other's results and supporting one another throughout.

The group were then introduced to exercises designed to help improve these key areas, with plans to re-test in four weeks' time and see how their hard work has paid off.

A special thank you to Aditi, one of our volunteers, who has incorporated physiotherapy into the course and helped the young people understand how to prepare their bodies for physical activity and recovery. 👏

We look forward to seeing everyone's progress over the coming weeks! 💪

A special thank you to Susan, our resident gardening expert, who created a delicious fruit and vegetable display using generous donations from Lidl. 🍓🥕🥒

Here's a look at just some of the highlights from a fantastic few weeks!
