APPEAL FOR HELPING HANDS

Our community is a long standing supporter of charities and good causes that make a difference to families and people living locally. Glasgow’s No1 Baby and Family Support Service, has launched a new Support & Care Hub for families in crisis and living in working poverty and is asking for volunteers to help get lives back on track.

Glasgow’s No1 Baby and Family Support Service was founded in 2017, by Audrey Dempsey, operating from a dedicated unit in Forge Street, Glasgow where it also supports families in working poverty with anything from furnishing a home to supplying clothing. The Charity offers an events room where service users can choose an outfit for a job interview, a school prom or a family gathering.

This makes sense as no one can suffer poverty and feel good about it, but it also became evident that it was becoming more difficult to source support for these issues in Glasgow.

“Our Hub is a much needed resource that we hope will empower people that are living in crisis and working poverty to help get lives back on track. It will be a one stop for anyone needing information and support from education and counselling to preparing for a job interview. We would love to hear from companies or individuals that could offer volunteer help or fundraise to keep the Hub going in the longer term.”
