The Glad Café Shawlands is located in the heart of the Southside of Glasgow. It is easily accessible via bus 3, 4, 29, 38, 57, 103 or the train to Crossmyloof, Queens Park or Shawlands station. It is an award winning café/music venue, serving delicious food and a delectable programme of gigs and events. The café welcomes on ages and styles. When visiting there was a local band playing and the majority of the audience were using some form of physical aid to help assist them within the venue. After researching further into the events that are held within the café, I realised that this is a regular occurrence and that the venue prides itself on being wheel-chair friendly. This creates a highly accessible and vibrant location for all members of society to meet in forming, a positive impact of engagement on the user and the use of their occupation.
