Our Chief Exec Gillian Middleton was delighted to attend a roundtable event this morning with Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and Housing, Shirley-Anne Somerville. A great and varied discussion with colleagues from our sector and the Minister who shared a commitment of The Scottish Government to amplify the voices of the third sector, recognising the value, commitment and contribution of grassroots organisations doing fantastic work in their local communities for their local community. We look forward to future discussions to best support those we serve in the northeast of the city, and we thank GCVS for facilitating today’s event.

🎈 National Play Day 2026: Celebrating the Power of Play! 🎈

Today, on National Play Day, we're celebrating something every child deserves: the opportunity to play, explore, learn and have fun in a way that works for them.

At Geeza Break, we believe that play should be accessible, inclusive and enjoyable for all children and young people. Through our services, we create safe, supportive spaces where children can build confidence, develop friendships and make lasting memories.

🌟 Our Respite Sitting Service provides families with valuable support while giving children and young people the opportunity to enjoy meaningful play, activities and experiences tailored to their individual needs and interests within their community.

🏡 Our Bespoke Community Flat offers an inclusive environment where children and young people can take part in play-based activities, develop life skills, build independence and enjoy new experiences in a welcoming and supportive setting.

✨ Within our Community Flat, children and young people can also access our exclusive sensory room, designed to provide a calming, engaging and inclusive space where they can relax, self-regulate, explore their senses and enjoy play in a way that meets their individual needs.

Play is much more than having fun. It's about communication, creativity, wellbeing, confidence and belonging. That's why we're proud to support children and families across our community every day.

💙 This National Play Day, let's celebrate the importance of inclusive play and ensure every child has the chance to thrive, connect and simply enjoy being a child.

🎨🧩⚽🏡💙

Sharing for any families that may need this support

In the run up to the new school term, many families will feel under increasing pressure to spend money on uniforms, bags, stationery and lunches.

Below are some Glasgow-based resources that provide support with school uniforms, helping ensure every child starts the term ready to learn.

🌟 A huge well done from Geeza Break to Everyone who received their exam results today 🌟

Today can bring a mix of excitement, relief, nerves, and uncertainty, and that's completely normal. Whatever is on that results sheet, please remember that your results do not define your worth, your potential, or your future.

Take a moment to be proud of the hard work, effort, and resilience you have shown to get to this point. Success looks different for everyone, and there are many paths to achieving your goals. Whether you received the results you hoped for or things haven't gone quite as planned, there is support available and options to explore.

💙 Need advice about your next steps?
The SDS Results Helpline is available to help:

📞 0808 100 8000
🕗 Open 8am to 8pm on Tuesday and Wednesday
🕘 Open 9am to 5pm on Thursday and Friday

Remember: one set of results is only one chapter of your story. Keep believing in yourself, stay positive, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

You've got this, and your future is full of possibilities. 🌈✨

A huge thank you to Avalon Autism Parental Support & Respite Services for treating our families to a fantastic evening at this week.

The children had an amazing time exploring the park freely, feeding and petting the animals, spending time with other families, and most importantly, simply enjoying the opportunity to play in a safe and welcoming environment.

Some lovely feedback from families included:

💜 "It was a fab evening... so chilled and the kids got on so well."

💜 "I had an amazing time and the kids had a ball. Thank you so much."

💜 "It was brilliant. My daughter had such a good time and was knackered by the end of it! She fed a sheep and got to pet a pig as well. Having the park to ourselves was incredible. It was honestly perfect. Thank you so much for including us."

A huge thank you again to William and everyone at Avalon Autism for your continued support and for creating such a memorable experience for our families.
