Our Community Halls

Due to the current situation with Covid-19, Thenue Communities has made the decision to close Calton Heritage & Learning Centre and Netherholm Community Hall. However, our staff are still doing all they can to support our residents. In Netherholm, we are working with local volunteers to develop a food delivery system and in Calton, we are collecting shopping and prescriptions for our most vulnerable residents. If you require any support that you think we can help with, please call Ross and Rosie on 0141 550 9573 anytime and if we can’t answer just leave a message and we’ll get back to you or you can text 07816 330 897 or email Rosemary.Robertson@thenuecommunities.co.uk. We can also take direct referrals from your housing officer. We hope you are all doing ok and please know that we are right here for you if we can help.

Welcome back – Coronavirus update, 28 March 2020

Thanks for taking the time to visit us to see what’s happening. Things have moved on since our last update on 24 March 2020. We’re not repeating everything that has appeared here previously, so here is the latest news.

We’re still open - it’s just our London Road office that’s closed. Manage your tenancy at the touch of a button, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week! Do that through our mobile self-service app. Alternatively you can either e-mail or phone directly any of our staff. All our contact details are listed in the ‘about’ section of our web site under ‘our staff’. Unlike the app, they don’t work 24 hours a day, so please be patient. Please avoid posting letters to us in the meantime as it will take longer than normal for us to reply. Unsure who at Thenue to contact? Then either phone 0141 550 3581 or e-mail admin@thenuehousing.co.uk
