Over the last year the men have visited places such as Glasgow Cathedral and Scottish Parliament, as well as some of Glasgow’s finest monuments. In the summer months the group also played some lawn bowls and invited guest speakers from different organisations to give talks. Talks have included information on mental health and healthy living, visits by local authors and fire safety.
