Melissa Reid spoke last week at the the Innovative Practice Conference by Scottish Drugs Forum. Our selected abstract this year presented our North Lanarkshire Crisis Outreach Service. The service has a unique response to commissioning through NLC housing & NLADP, partnering to continue providing outreach response, crisis outreach and crisis response.

Last week, our North West Housing Support service hosted a Halloween party for its residents.

The day was filled with loads of fun, such as a Halloween quiz and a treasure hunt, along with prizes to be won! 🏆🎃

At Rosie's Social Enterprises in Aberdeen, they celebrated Halloween a little different...

The people we support and staff painted pebbles like monsters and hid them all around Aberdeen for people to find. If members of the public managed to find one of the pebbles and brought it into the shop, they were in with a chance of winning a prize!🧛‍♂️

Our Glasgow Mental Health & Huntington’s Service had loads of fun yesterday with their Halloween party!

The people we support and staff dressed up and took part in a quiz, bobbing for apples and a good old Halloween BOOgie 👻🎃

Our South Ayrshire service recently held their Halloween Party, where people we support and staff enjoyed catching up with each other and had a spooky, fun night of dancing, Halloween themed games & quiz, and fancy dress competition!

Well done to all the prize winners, and a huge thank you to everyone who helped out on the night and behind the scenes to make sure it was a fantastic night! 🎃🕸🦇

Laura Keith was recently nominated by colleagues to attend Scotland’s Annual Homelessness Conference 2024, in recognition of her hard work.

Laura spoke at the event about the importance of her role as a Fair Way Scotland Advice and Support Worker for Turning Point Scotland in Aberdeen.

Congratulations Laura, well deserved!

TPS Connects held a Halloween party at The Pod yesterday. There was fancy dress, pumpkin carving and Halloween games with prizes!

The costumes looked great and so did the party! 🎃

In Case You Missed It 📢

Our Glasgow Mental Health and Huntington’s Service had a Coffee Morning for Macmillan Cancer. The staff and people we support had a day full of home baking and a raffle with prizes!

A great day to spread awareness of an important cause 💚

We are at Glasgow Central Station today along with Scottish Drugs Forum, Simon Community Scotland and Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol & Drugs to help spread awareness and teach members of the public on Naloxone. The training will allow people to spot the signs of an overdose and safely administer Naloxone. This training takes less than 5 minutes but could save someone's life.

Come down to see us and take part!
The stand will be there until 6pm tonight.
