Allia C&C support for our Connect Hub
02 October 2024
We are absolutely delighted to have benefited from a very generous donation from Allia C&C to help us run and develop our new Connect Hub, a safe place for women experiencing homelessness in Glasgow to access practical and emotional support.
Our Connect Hub relies solely on grants and donations and costs approximately £5,000 per week.
It was a pleasure to welcome Peter Freer from Allia to our Connect Hub to say thanks in person and talk through the difference their support will make.
Lorraine McGrath, Chief Executive of Simon Community Scotland, said: “We are incredibly proud that Allia C&C has recognised the vision and potential of our Connect Hub, which provides essential support to women homelessness in Glasgow. We are deeply appreciative of this generous contribution which will empower us to expand our reach and strengthen the connection between our Hub and crucial tenancy support services.”
Peter Freer, Director, Debt Capital Markets and Head of Allia C&C’s Scottish Office, commented: “As a socially responsible financial organisation, we are committed to driving both financial success and tangible social progress. Our decision to provide grants from our own income underscores this commitment and reflects our dedication to making a real difference to communities across Scotland.”
