A housing association in Govan is set to be honoured with a civic reception.
Elderpark Housing will be formally recognised by Glasgow City Council at a special event next month in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The civic reception will take place at the City Chambers on August 8, bringing together individuals who have contributed to Elderpark’s work over the past five decades.
Gary Dalziel, chief executive of Elderpark, said: "Elderpark Housing is delighted to be receiving a civic reception at the invitation of Glasgow City Council as the organisation marks its half-century of service to the community within the Govan and broader Govan area.

"It will be a very special occasion at the City Chambers as we hopefully have many colleagues, committee members, consultants and contractors from the past and present attending this event.
"Each of them will have contributed in some way to the success of the organisation and, more importantly, to the local community."
The invitation comes from the Lord Provost’s office as part of the council’s policy to recognise organisations marking significant milestones, such as 50 years or centenaries.
The municipal honour comes just weeks after former First Minister Humza Yousaf MSP laid down a Parliamentary motion at Holyrood to congratulate Elderpark on its half century.
