About Us

Our main objective is to offer and promote social opportunities for the residents of Castlemilk and its surrounding areas - we consider ourself to be a 'youth club for the over 55s'! We aim to ensure that more independent older adults within the community can continue to live at home and improve their social connections and relationships with their peers.

The Senior Centre's mission statement -

       "Provide an accessible facility in which we will promote the social
        inclusion of elderly people in the Castlemilk area, by reducing
        isolation, poverty, poor mental and physical health and poor diet,
        and by providing and promoting opportunities for older people to
        live an active, fulfilling and useful life within their community."

We have a busy programme throughout the year offering classes, activities, trips, holidays and parties. Click here to find out more. Each week we provide transport to and from the centre on accessible minibuses for over 30 members who would otherwise not be able to attend. Once in the centre, members are encouraged to be independent and participate in classes, activities and use the café at their leisure. Staff and volunteers are always on hand to offer guidance and information.

While we are not a care provider, we can suggest or contact partner organisations to those who may benefit.

The Senior Centre is an integral part of the community and of daily life for more than 350 members. We are without doubt a lifeline to the majority who attend the Centre.
