We are one of Glasgow's oldest Charities, established in 1874 before the NHS and Welfare State, sadly our aim of alleviating poverty in the City is still the same. People are referred to us from agencies working with vulnerable people. We support some of the poorest individuals and families who cannot get help from any other source. We do not receive funding from any local or national government. The money we need to help those in need comes from capital investments made in earlier years, bequests, legacies, and donations. We often describe ourselves as the 'Small charity doing big things for Glasgow'. Our support is normally basic items such as cookers, washing machines, beds, furniture and flooring. Within one week we can be delivering items to a family that make an immediate impact on their personal situation. We also support families with supermarket vouchers to buy food as this is an ever-increasing plight for a lot of people. At Christmas we provide Vouchers and Gifts to those most in need for Christmas morning. There are 37,000 children living in poverty in Glasgow today. We also process around 15 community grants annually to benefit the wider community with projects, educational grants, transport, and other needs. If you or your company are looking for a Charity of the Year or doing some fundraising activities, we would appreciate you keeping us in mind as a potential beneficiary and we would welcome a conversation with you.

Story

Radisson RED Glasgow have teamed up with our pals Callum Beattie, Dave Rogers and Glasgow Live to help out with a truly incREDible charity appeal.

THREE out of every TEN kids in Glasgow are lIving in poverty - this is heartbreaking. This means effectively 1 in 3 of our children are suffering in poverty.

We desperately want to help families in this situation enjoy Christmas - the time of year when EVERY child should be happy, smiling, full and carefree!

To do this, Glasgow Care Foundation are running an appeal for donations via Just Giving that will let them buy supermarket vouchers to hand out to families living in poverty. This means parents can make sure their kids enjoy the magic of Christmas morning with gifts to open under a tree, and a Christmas dinner.

We know times are tight for all of us, but if you are able, please donate what you can. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to children, the elderly, and families in grave need of access to help this winter. It will mean the world to struggling parents - and even more to the children who may otherwise have no tree, no presents, and no dinner at all let alone a turkey.

Let's give the gift of Christmas to kids living in poverty.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
