Welcome to The Dixon Community
We are a voluntary organisation that provides support to carers and older people in the South of Glasgow.
We've been helping carers and older people in the community since 1972
The Dixon Community is a voluntary organisation established in 1972 and has been a major provider of multicultural care and support to older people and carers in the Southside of Glasgow, responding to the changing needs within the community, in partnership with Glasgow City Council.
We serve diverse multicultural communities across the South of Glasgow. We have two projects at The Dixon Community – Day Opportunities and Glasgow South Carers Centre.
Day Opportunities are designed especially for our senior community members, offering a range of engaging events and activities to partake in.
The Glasgow South Carers Centre is dedicated to empowering carers and young carers through focused support, specialised training, supportive events, and a nurturing community.

Do you care for someone?
Three out of five of us will become carers at some point in our lives. You’re not alone, it’s okay to ask for help.
If you care for someone with an illness, disability, additional support need, addiction or mental health condition, we can support you.
