Kirsty Gibbons, who is one of two full-time members of staff at YRC, told the Glasgow Times that the book explores individual stories of struggle during the Covid-19 pandemic.Kirsty said: “People always talk about life before or after the pandemic but no one seems to talk about the actual pandemic itself.

Kirsty, who has been working at YRC for 18 months, explained that she was delighted that one of Europe’s largest public libraries is actually considering storing the group’s work.
“Some of the ladies asked me if it meant that the book would last longer than them and I told them I think it could last longer than me.”The group promotes independence and runs a variety of activities including physiotherapy sessions, arts & crafts, and more.
