Glasgow Care Foundation Dear Lesley-ann
I have spoken to yourself, Morag and Christine from Slimming World regarding my work with charity.
Our Charity has been established for 143 years in Glasgow, we help families and the elderly who cannot get help anywhere else, our referrals come from the Social Work Dept / CAB / Health Visitors etc.
We supply household goods for example floor coverings, white goods, beds and basic furniture. We also support local community groups with children’ s outings etc. We are not government funded therefore our income comes from capital investments made in earlier years, bequests, legacies, donations and charitable trusts. At Christmas we make up parcels for families we have helped throughout the year with new toys for children, gift sets for teenagers and supermarket vouchers to buy their Christmas dinner, it is amazing what a difference this‘ helping hand’ can make to people therefore any support either to raise funds or awareness of our good work is much appreciated.
Christmas campaign has been launched and thank you for your support in spreading the word, the link below gives more information and a direct way to donate to the campaign on line should anyone prefer this method. We also gratefully accept donations of money or new toys from now until the 1 st week in December if the congregation can support with this.( Donations can be collected from the church).
Our website www. glasgowcarefoundation. org is in the process of being revamped but if you have time to have a look it will give you an idea of what we do. If you would like more information or a chat over a coffee please let me know, I live locally so can pop into the Church.
Kind Regards, Elaine Sergeant
