“On Friday 2 April 2021, we discovered that Aspire had been the victim of an apparent ransomware attack.  We took immediate action to limit the impact, working closely with multiple agencies including Police Scotland and our insurers, who have and are continuing to provide expert support.

Our focus is now on recovery.  Many of our key systems are based in the cloud, so our work on behalf of supported individuals has continued as normal.  We have communicated openly and honestly with all stakeholders and colleagues, to let them know the actions we are taking on this matter. As the investigation progresses, we will continue to share information with those most likely to be affected and will give people every opportunity to discuss their concerns with us. 

This attack on Aspire has been a difficult experience but we are a resilient and determined employee-owned organisation, who remain committed to providing high quality support.

NHSGGC’s Public Health team has made an appeal, following a rapid rise in requests for Covid-19 tests.

Since schools went back recently there has been a sharp spike in testing requests, particularly from parents concerned for their children.

Dr Linda de Caestecker said: “In order to ensure we do everything we can to prevent a rise in cases, we need to remind people how the testing system works.

“Firstly, only people who are symptomatic need a test unless you are explicitly asked to get a test by public health as part of the management of an outbreak. The symptoms are the onset of a persistent cough, or a temperature/fever or a loss of taste or smell. You only need one of these to be tested. This can be done by calling 0800 028 2816 or visiting the NHS Inform website – www.nhsinform.scot.  You do not need to call NHS 24 to organise a test.

“I also want to stress that while family members need to self-isolate if someone in their household develops symptoms, they do not need to be tested unless they themselves go on to develop symptoms.  If you are contacted by Test and Protect to tell you that you are a close contact of somebody with Covid-19, you do not require a test but you must isolate for 14 days.  A test will not change the need to self-isolate.

“Another important point is if you do develop Covid symptoms and are ill and are worried about your health, you should call NHS 24 on 111. Please do not call NHS 24 unless you feel you need medical advice to deal with your illness.

After a very long period in isolation and medical shielding supported person, Roselyn L, has returned to increased support.  Part of the reintroduction with the support staff was a planned day away by train to Helensburgh, with their packed lunches.  Roselyn chose her destination and the staff worked with her to plan a route, ensuring social distancing and restrictions upon them at this time could be maintained.

As you can see from the picture (click read more), Roselyn was one very happy person. 

This is a perfect example of the hard work from the support staff and their dedication.  Thanks to all of you.

Welcome to Aspire Housing and Personal Development Services Ltd.  Aspire has just passed it’s first anniversary as an employee owned company, an important reason for me joining Aspire nearly 3 years ago. 

We have this opportunity from Peter Millar as the previous owner and CEO to further develop Aspire. 

We are passionate about providing the highest level of support to those we are asked to help in many different spaces and to have employees at all levels of the organisation working as a team.  This will help us realise the full benefits an employee organisation can achieve.

We’re still at the beginning of our employee owned journey. 

We hope to further develop our organisation for staff, their family and supported individuals that is seen as an exemplar in social care and hope you will be part of our story.

Kindest regards

Great work and effort by the Covid-19 Response team. 

So far they have

• distributed 13675 meal across 18 services.
• delivered 803 food parcels to the local community.
• distributed weekly fruit and water provisions to Gartnavel Royal.
• this week distributed 40 kids goodie and also educational bags to disadvantaged families in the community

They have also answered many other requests in the local community some really heartfelt and some extremely random, including transporting fish for an individual who had been homeless but had now been accommodated in a flat. This put a smile on the team's faces and was a successful journey.

Thanks to everyone from Help The Homeless Glasgow, Maryhill Tesco and our team at Aspire for their support and thanks to our management for the support during this time it is truly appreciated. Thanks
