Service User Involvement

GCA Service User Involvement gives individuals who have used GCA’s services, an opportunity to get involved with the service. Service users can share their experience, knowledge and skills to shape and inform the development and direction of future services. Service Users can get involved in many ways from attending peer support groups or come along to our Feel Good Friday Sessions.

What can I offer, and how do I join?
Glasgow Council on Alcohol are keen for service users to “give back” and part with their knowledge of our services. You can get in touch and get involved by emailing us or giving us a call on 0141 353 1800.
