The Community Partnership Officer engaged with Viewpark Family Centre to support them in applying for funds to host a community event which would provide local people access to information, support and advice from several organisations. 

The event took place on 3 March to coincide with the weekly Lunch Club provided by the centre. It provided a number of local people access to information and advice from several organisations, including the Community Partnership, Tackling Poverty and Community Learning & Development (CLD) Adult Learning teams. Also in attendance were Citizens Advice Bureau, Making Life Easier, Home Energy Scotland, Lanarkshire Carers, Police Scotland, Routes to Work and National Health Service (NHS) Health Improvement. 

As well as the advice on hand, the Community Partnership team also provided soup packs and recipes, a small number of remaining packs were donated to the centre, allowing them to provide packs to local families using the centre. Free period products were also made available as part of the period dignity initiative.
