ENABLE Glasgow aims to empower people with learning disability to get the most from life.
Fortune Works encourages people to become involved in the local community through various projects and achieves a balance between group activities and individual timetables. We offer 125 full time placements to adults with learning disability from all over the City. The project is also a source of vital social support for those who take part. We liaise closely with families, statutory sector professionals, and agencies which provide community support in order to make this as effective as possible. Fortune Works can receive referrals from any source, but any admissions require to be approved by the relevant statutory authority (usually the Social Work Department). We are also very proud to be part of the Drumchapel community, and of the fact that our service users are playing a direct part in its regeneration.

~We took part in an anti-racism workshop with G15 Thriving Places to encourage 'Hope Not Hate' in Drumchapel.
~Our hate crime awareness group, the Respect Group, delivered an informative hate crime presentation within the service, helping to raise awareness and promote understanding.
~Our Fortune Flyers footballers showed their support for Show Racism the Red Card by taking part in Wear Red Day.
~To round off the week, a couple of our players joined the G15 Thriving Places Football Tournament on Saturday!
Well done to everyone involved! Let's continue to spread the message of inclusion, respect, and unity. 💪❤️⚽
