Glasgow Boys' Brigade call for former members to join group
The Glasgow Stedfast Association supports the Boys' Brigade, founded in the city in 1883, and aims to bring people together from the organisation's long legacy. Born in 2008, as one of many across the UK and Ireland, The Glasgow Stedfast Association was created to sustain the spirit of the Brigade by fostering friendship, sharing updates, and promoting its values to the wider public.

People don't need to be a former Boys' Brigade member to get involved. Any former officers, helpers at badge classes, event organisers, Bible Class worship leaders, or supporters of the Brigade's mission and values are welcome to join. The Glasgow Stedfast Association orchestrates a yearly programme filled with an array of events that people can get involved in. These range from social evenings to festive Christmas gatherings, and from afternoon visits to local landmarks to summer away days. Recent outings have featured visits to the Govan Stones exhibition, the Willow Tea Rooms, Glasgow City Mission, and the Hamilton Low Parks Museum. The kick-off for the 2025/26 session is a social evening, featuring fish and chips at Ibrox Parish Church in September. Glasgow's association also holds a treasure trove of Boys' Brigade history, and it is currently negotiating with Glasgow Life to locate a permanent exhibition space.

Work to resume on $23M affordable housing project in Spartanburg
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – A Spartanburg-based multi-million dollar affordable housing project has resumed after years of being on a hiatus. The $23 million Northside neighborhood project, once completed, would create more living spaces for residents in the City of Spartanburg. According to Montgomery Development Group, the project started the second phase of work last week, which involves building 86 two-story and three-story townhomes around in the city's northside neighborhood. 'The Northside lacks in quality housing options, so we're providing more housing for the people that live, grew up and live here in the Northside at an affordable rate,' said John Montgomery, CEO of MDG. City officials says the resumption of the second phase of construction has been highly anticipated. The first phase wrapped up in 2021 with 47 townhomes now sitting on Milan Street. 'More mixed income housing in that area is huge for us and really huge for the neighborhood as well,' said Christopher George, City of Spartanburg's Communications Manager. A common rule of thumb is to spend no more than a third of your annual income on housing expenses. According to Zillow, Spartanburg townhome renters pay on average, $19,500 annually, almost half of the $52,688 median income for a one person household in Spartanburg. Montgomery said the community will offer 3-bedroom, 3-1/2 bathroom and 3-bedroom, 2-1/2 bathroom units. Some residents said the development is welcomed. 'I think its important that you have to continue to grow with the times, and a part of that is getting people to live in the area that you're in and you can't do that without affordable housing,' said Seth Brech, a Spartanburg resident who moved from Texas about half-a-year ago. Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine student Shadika Panta believes rent in Spartanburg is too high for someone without a steady annual income like herself. 'I'm surprised about how expensive it was here,' said Panta. 'I mean it's a big city, but not big, big [like my hometown of Milwaukee].' Montgomery said he expects the homes to be completed by the end of Summer 2026, with residents able to move in by the end of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
