MSP shows support for Gillespie Centre
Aileen Campbell MSP visited the Gillespie Centre as it embarked upon a pilot 'community lunch' project offering wholesome, home-cooked food at a discounted rate to help low income families.
This builds on other projects at the centre from reminiscence therapy for those with dementia to “tea and natter” sessions to help keep the elderly population engaged and connected within the community.
The MSP, who uses the centre for her surgeries and also as a Biggar resident said: “I was delighted to drop by and hear about this latest pilot and to see the centre so busy.
