URGENT VOLUNTEER APPEAL FOR GLASGOW’S NUMBER ONE BABY AND FAMILY SUPPORT SERVICE

If you are thinking of giving back to the community then why not consider volunteering with one of our partners, Glasgow’s No1 Baby and Family Support Service. Like many, the Charity has been impacted by the pandemic and is appealing for volunteers to get in touch as soon as possible to deliver their essential service around the City.

Glasgow’s No1 Baby and Family Support Service was founded in 2017, by Audrey Dempsey to help families with babies in the north of Glasgow. It has grown rapidly and operates from a dedicated unit in Forge Street with the help of Carol Ann McGurk. The team supports the wider needs of families where it helps with anything from furnishing a home to supplying clothing. It is planning on providing a community outreach service as soon as possible this year.

Audrey Dempsey, Founder and Service Manager of Glasgow’s No1 Baby and Family Support Service, said: “Our service was created by eliminating obstacles and identifying the issues and problems that people were faced with when seeking help for hardship and working poverty. Due to the pandemic we are seeing an even bigger demand for our service as so many people have sadly lost their businesses or have been made redundant.

We rely on donations and volunteers to run our services so if anyone could consider giving a few hours on either a Monday, Wednesday or a Friday, it would be great to hear from them. For anyone that would like to get some insight to find out more, please " get in touch on 0141 230 6856 or email audrey.gnonebfss@gmail.com. Thank you.”
