The Stress Centre is changing! - From the 12th of August we will be called Lifelink

But don’t panic, we will continue to deliver all the services that we are currently funded to provide. What are we changing? We are re-branding and our organisational name is changing to, Lifelink:

Why are we changing?

Royston Stress Centre has grown initially, from one small project established in1992 to an organisation, offering an increased range of services to meet the needs of different client groups. We now operate a number of services/programmes under the banner of “Royston Stress Centre Ltd. These include:

Royston (Adult) Stress Centre, which recently merged with Maryhill & Possil Stress Centre, forming a North Glasgow Wide Adult Stress Service. As a result we have streamlined and developed the range and model of Adult Stress Services delivery. This will still include the existing stress relief/management services, along with Keepwell, Stop Smoking befriending and outreach services. Added to this we will also offer a more comprehensive range of life skills/personal development groupwork and training

programmes. All of these services will be delivered from 2 main bases in Ardoch House, Possil and Charles Street, Royston and within a range of Community venues across the North area.

South West (Adult) Stress Service delivered from the Pearce Institute, Govan and Pollok Civic Realm, including the Keep Well service, and a small service in Dumbarton Road Corridor.

North Glasgow Youth Stress Service which provides both one-to-one support and counselling, young people’s emotional resilience building group work, parenting support programmes and develops and delivers training citywide.

Lifelink the North based crisis intervention and prevention service, for young people and adults who self-harm and/or are at risk of suicide. Over the coming year this service will change and become an integrated part of our other north based adult and youth services.

As a result of these developments over the years and in the recent past, it has become important to ensure that the organisation’s name reflects the full range of our activities.
