Our Story

The Disability Community was established in 1984 by disabled people in North Glasgow. Over the last 30 years it has grown and developed into one of the most respected voluntary organisations in the city. Members range in age from 5 to 75+ and all disabilities are represented. We are funded by Glasgow City Council to provide our unique centre in Possilpark. We have a Community Cafe and a busy timetable of social clubs and classes, there is something for everyone at The Disability Community. We have day and evening social clubs, IT classes, knitting clubs, Art class, Jewellery Making class and we are always looking to start new groups. We also have a fantastic youth program. Disabled young people often face barriers to attend mainstream youth clubs - physical, transport, emotional and financial. Our Tuesday Teens club is generously funded by Big Lottery and sees local teenagers learn new skills and have an opportunity to socialise in a safe environment. Our Out and About program is funded through BBC Children in Need and helps us to enable young people with disabilities to attend social clubs at our centre and other local community centres. BBC Children in Need and Glasgow City Council both fund our Carelink After-school club for young people with complex needs. Carelink is a rare opportunity for these young people to socialise and play in a safe environment and we love seeing the smiles and progress all of our young people make. Cook 'n' Care - For almost 10 years Cook ‘n’ Care has been providing a first-class meals delivery and care service for vulnerable and disabled people in their own homes. We serve the whole of North Glasgow and pride ourselves on the quality of our meals and the efficiency and friendliness of our volunteers and staff. Our homemade meals are delivered hot and ready to eat Menus are varied and are always healthy and nutritious Our local volunteers are very flexible – we can deliver on one or two days only, or every day, as required Our service is open to anyone who needs it – while some of our customers have a disability, others use Cook 'n' Care simply because they are getting older or due to temporary illness. We are always happy to discuss your requirements and can even provide a free sample meal so you can see and taste the quality of what we offer.
