Each parcel includes contact details for Glasgow Helps, a new service which helps citizens access the right support for their needs. It is run by the council in partnership with the Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector. While Ann Brogan, who has been volunteering with the charity for 42 years and oversees the welfare of the team, added: “When our volunteers are out in the community, they are supporting people who are often destitute, fallen on hard times or experiencing mental health issues.
