Residents will have the opportunity to take part in a varied programme of events during the colder months, in welcoming warm spaces including libraries and community venues.
From family friendly clubs, to art and crafts, IT courses and book discussions, the schedule of free winter events offers plenty of variety for residents of all ages.
The Winter in West Dunbartonshire programme has been pulled together by the Council to ensure that any resident who wants to keep warm this winter can make use of the buildings open throughout the day, enjoy activities and access support.
