Among those we are supporting are 175 people with serious long term illnesses (including diabetes, cancer and heart disease), 75 people with disabilities or mobility limiting injuries, older people, pregnant women and families with young children. We are also supporting
The winter holiday period is the hardest time. People are far from their loved ones, and there is very little money for food, heating or even a present for a child.
We are distributing crisis grants for food, clothing, baby items, toiletries and SIM cards, and making sure people can access specialist advice, signposting and safe shelter through our Room for Refugees programme.
Most of the people we support are in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and other Scottish towns. We are also supporting a smaller number of families from England who are destitute.
Glasgow has declared a "housing emergency". Hundreds of people are forced into insecure housing or sleeping rough. Many need help to secure their legal status and begin to rebuild their lives.
A gift of £100 could provide food, clothing, baby items, toiletries and SIM cards, and help a homeless family access safe shelter and specialist advice. Every penny will go directly to those in need. (If you want to make a corporate donation, we can invoice you on request).
