(Photograph) - When Nicola Watson became this year's 200th member of Garscube Community Playrooms in Glasgow, the environment may have been new for her 20-month-old son Andrew (left), but for Nicola it was all very familiar. She recalls coming there with her own mother when she was three years old. The Playrooms operate as a drop-in facility, which especially helps shiftworkers and those who jobshare. Set up as part of an urban aid project, the Playrooms no longer receive funding from the local authority, but are supported by nominal fees from the community. Photo Paul Reid
