The Big Disability Group is playing an essential role ensuring people have access to vital services during lockdown.
Coordinator Kevin Crawford said: “We are seeing an increase in support needed for mental health
"and we can direct people to suitable support agencies that meet their needs.
“We have also been contacted for help to access food, medication pick ups and financial support.
“We are supporting new and existing clients by keeping in touch through a number of social media platforms
"and providing online activities that are being shared by other organisations.
“People are also using our Facebook group to share their experiences and information with others.”
The group has seen an increase in enquiries from areas such as Glasgow and are working with agencies to ensure people can access support in their own area.
