Services: Charity for needy Scots in London
ScotsCare helps Scots who live in and around London suffering
hardship or seeking to rebuild or improve their lives. We help these
first and second generation Scots by providing; financial assistance,
employment and training opportunities; a friendly face to visit them;
social networks and housing.
Every day we meet distressed men and women, young and old alike and
listen to anxious telephone calls from Scots who need our help to
overcome poverty; some are fleeing from violence and abuse, some are
homeless and many are elderly and frail. Whether its lone mothers with
young kids to support or young men who have lost their way and are
seeking to rebuild their lives, all call on us desperate for help.
How we can help:
> Housing for the elderly and severly disabled;
> Help to get people back into work with a decent level of income;
> Grants and assistance to those on low incomes;
> Grants to students on low incomes or from deprived families.
We focus services on helping people help themselves.
We always appreciate help. You can help in two ways:
1. Donate money
In an average year, ScotsCare spends more than £1 million in meeting its remit which includes assisting those on low incomes. We fund regular allowances for almost 300 older people and provide financial assistance to over 900 other households. A million pounds is a lot of money but it can only alleviate a small part of the distress and hardship experienced by London Scots. ScotsCare is always in need of additional funds so please, if you can, consider making a donation today.
2. Donate time
ScotsCare has a full volunteer programme of social events and community involvement with a view to helping those Scots in London. As one volunteer, Karen (left) explains, "Volunteering with ScotsCare has been a truly empowering experience in many ways: it has enabled me to connect with my own Scottish heritage, as well as offering enormous personal satisfaction in my befriending relationship. I can honestly say that volunteering with ScotsCare has added a whole new dimension to my life!" To find out more about volunteering call us free on 0800 652 2989.
