Improving Lives SDS Service

16/07/2026

Improving Lives SDS have been busy out and about in the community over the last few days, informing the good citizens of West Dunbartonshire on all aspects of Self Directed Support
On Friday we had a tremendous response from the public at Barclay Church Dalmuir and today we dealt with many enquiries at our information stall at Vale Health Centre, Alexandria.

Why not pop along to the Improving Lives Self Directed Support information stall at The Vale Health Centre tomorrow, Thursday July 16th, between 11-1pm and find out how SDS could help you or your loved ones lead a more independent life.
Self Directed Support is a way of providing assistance or care that allows individuals to have more control and choice over the support they receive. It empowers people to make decisions about their own care, tailoring it to their specific needs and preferences.
​
Through Self Directed Support, you can get various types of assistance tailored to your needs. This might include help with daily tasks like personal care, managing your home, or even support for social activities. The key is that you have more say in deciding what kind of support best fits your lifestyle and goals

The ugly scenes in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr earlier this week need to be condemned.

But it is not just the actions of cowardly masked thugs that need to be called out.

We also need to condemn the politicians and media who for years now have been fanning the fires of hatred to win votes and clicks. They prey on insecurity, on poverty and on ignorance as they continue the age-old tactic of divide and conquer.

Clydesider will be standing in solidarity with all at Stand Up to Racism this Saturday - come and join us.

Together we can show that the power of love and hope is stronger than fear and hatred ❤️💜💚
