Starter Packs Glasgow help individuals and families across Greater Glasgow. They provide over 60 items in their packs such as crockery, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, bedding, towels, toiletries and cleaning products. They are available by referral to anybody experiencing poverty, often after being homeless, fleeing domestic situations, moving on from the forces, prison or care. Their packs help empower people to build a new life with dignity, ease their financial burden, and alleviate poverty and the mental and physical ill health that can be caused by it. They allow people to settle into their new home more quickly, reducing the chances of having to leave the tenancy – helping to break the cycle of homelessness.
