Glasgow Care Foundation are a small charity doing big things. The mission is to alleviate poverty and improve the quality of life for Glaswegians. We provide key support at times most needed - e.g. with provision of basic household goods. As we enter our 150th year, our vision is to positively improve 10,000 lives over the next 10 years - a bold aspiration! To do this, we rely on the help and goodwill of everyone, to spread the word, and support us where they can. I sit on the Marketing Committee, Finance Committee and am a board member. I am proud to use the experience I have gained throughout my career - business development, finance, networking, marketing, leadership effectiveness - to support a such a worthwhile cause. If you would like to know more about how you can help the charity, be it donating, fundraising, or spreading the word, please get in touch! Show less
