The five ladies live at the WSHA’s Denmilne Sheltered complex and the artwork was a culmination of six months hard work.

The mural, featuring landmarks from Glasgow, was created with the help of artist Sarah Bookless as part of WSHA’s Club 60 programme aimed at older people to reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing. Sarah, who is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art started working with the group in September 2015 to create the mural.

One of the group, Sandra, said: “I really enjoyed painting and putting together the mural.” Another tenant is so proud of their work that she has sent pictures to her family in Canada.

Alison Cameron, older person’s coordinator at WSHA, said: “A core group of 5 tenants were responsible for painting the mural with other tenants joining in by offering moral support, tea making and appreciating the ‘buzz’ around the complex that the group brought. From tentative beginners the groups’ confidence has grown and the members are now knowledgeable in mixing colours, different brush strokes and collage.”

Club 60 activities are funded through Glasgow Transformation Fund, administered by the Voluntary Action Fund. This allows WSHA and their subsidiary, Willowacre Trust, to help improve the health and wellbeing of older people and enable them to live more independently at home or in a homely community setting.
