We'll be taking part in the Glasgow Business Fives this Friday the 15th of March to help raise money for Govan Help.

"Govan HELP is a family-support charity based in the heart of the community in the Govan area of Glasgow. Our services aim to support children and families from the local area to overcome problems, build resilience and develop the means to improve their overall quality of family life. These services include Family Support, Play Therapy, Training and Volunteering, Adult Counselling and our most recent development, The Govan Pantry.

We take a holistic approach to resolving the increasingly complex issues that families in Govan are struggling with. These problems include things like domestic violence, physical and mental health conditions, drug and alcohol addiction, housing and debt issues, domestic abuse, and trauma. These issues are further compounded by the impact of poverty and deprivation which is widespread in the communities of Greater Govan.

We have close links with schools, social work and health colleagues in the local area and work collaboratively with organisations to achieve stronger outcomes for children and families. In addition, we work with a wide range of third-sector partner agencies to build a more holistic package of support for families that are tailored to their individual needs. Each year we support around 250 families and children through our Family focussed services and in The Govan Pantry we support over 300 people each week to access food and essential items."
