Glasgow City Council is investing £1m in a project helping people to live better and healthier lives.

Live Well is a free programme which is helping people to lead better lives.

The service is for those who need support accessing our activities and services.

It's going to be rolled out across the city over the next three years.

People will be linked with activities in Calton, Bridgeton, Parkhead, Shettleston, Tollcross and nearby areas towards Springboig.

Bailie Annette Christie, Chair of Glasgow Life, said: “The success of the Live Well pilot speaks volumes and merits the huge investment Glasgow City Council is making in this incredible programme.

"Live Well is a key part of Glasgow Life’s vision to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of local communities across the city.

"Our ambition for this expansion is to see the programme grow from a small trial of this new approach to a citywide offer.

"One that will be able to support up to 2,500 participants every year, to engage with cultural and physical activities and enjoy the many wellbeing benefits that brings.”
