Giving a helping hand

"Blessed God!  His love is the wonder of the world." - Psalms 31v21

Our aim at Glasgow City Mission is to provide more than just physical care.

At each of our projects, we aim to offer hope to people who may be experiencing difficulties in their lives. The Shieling works with people who are homeless or vulnerable, offering not only practical care, but spiritual hope as well.

Our Child & Family Centre offers quality childcare in a socially deprived part of Govan. Our services enable parents and carers to seek employment or go onto further education, in an area where 45% of children live in workless households. (Economic and Social Profile of Greater Govan, Glasgow and Scotland, Aug 2004, Govan Initiative.)

At Glasgow City Mission we aim to build relationships with people to help sustain them through difficult situations when they are often detached from family and friends.  Rhoda with one of our regulars

It can take a long time for people to overcome their problems, but the support and encouragement that people receive from our staff and volunteers can help people start to turn their lives around. We aim to help people, no matter their circumstances or what has gone before. We do not judge people on their past, but try to ensure that their future will be a better place.

As a Christian charity, we do not force our religious beliefs on those who come to us for help. What we do is share the hope that motivates our work – the belief that there is a God who loves us. We respect each person’s right to freedom and dignity, while at the same time hoping that they will come know that God loves them.

We aim to make a real difference by providing Christian care that can transform lives.

“I love that Glasgow City Mission is a Christian organisation, where we can speak and demonstrate hope in people’s lives. It is truly exciting to see people take small steps towards fuller lives.”

Ewan Clydesdale, Project Manager.
