Museums & Older People: Southside Network Event

Glasgow Museums are offering a free networking session and training for those working with older people in the Southside of Glasgow. Discover what Glasgow Museums can offer for older people’s groups and meet others working with older people in the south of the city.

Come along for this special behind the scenes visit to Glasgow Museums Resource Centre, our museum store.  The visit will include a tour of this vast building with rooms full of fantastic objects, from animals to armour, fine art to fossils, and much, much more.

We will also offer training on running reminiscence with your group and an induction to the Open Museum kit stores, which will enable you to borrow our vast array of reminiscence and handling kits. (Please note only groups who work within the Glasgow City Council boundaries can borrow these kits).

The event is open to anyone working with older people’s groups in the South of Glasgow. This includes NHS and care staff, managers, students and volunteers.

The session will take place at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre, 200 Woodhead Road, Nitshill. G53 7NN. You can find out more about the museum here.

We have free parking and are a short walk from Nitshill railway station.
