Rainbow Friendship Centre
Our mission
“…Enhance the health and quality of life of vulnerable, socially excluded older people and increase their ability to achieve more independent and valued lifestyles within their own homes and communities.”
Vision
Rainbow Friendship Centre was established in 1990 to provide physical and social recreational activities to disadvantaged people of 50 years of age and over from the Carnwadric, Greater Pollok and Newlands/Auldburn communities of Glasgow. We provide social care and stimulation through our Day Centre to members 3 days per week for 52 weeks of the year. We help members to continue living independently at home through the delivery of practical support and complimented by an inclusive programme designed to stimulate the members both physically and mentally. The activities on offer provide social interaction with the local Community as well as ensure older adults feel valued in society. Our service is viewed as a stop-gap to prolong older adults living in their own home and not having to move into Care. Since our inception we have delivered our service to over 800 service users, their families and carers.
