Lanarkshire MSP Graham Simpson was this week told about the harmful impact the pandemic has had on support services.
During a visit to the town centre hub of Connected East Kilbride, project manager and director Lesley MacIntyre revealed access has been a problem for many, resulting in a disproportional effect on certain members of the community.
The project, which was created in partnership with East Kilbride’s Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Older and Active East Kilbride and Kilbryde Hospice, has been established to connect isolated or vulnerable residents to useful groups and services.
