Wellbeing

Did you know Glasgow Life is a charity set up to benefit everyone in the city? The reason we exist is to: 1. Improve people's mental and physical wellbeing through culture and sport. 2. Support the city’s visitor economy and enhance its reputation as a great place to live, work, learn, and visit. 3. Generate funds through culture and sport programmes. We then re-invest in the charitable activities which support our vision.
