ALLEVIATing POVERTY & supporting vulnerable people of all ages in & around glasgow

Please help us to help others.

Starter Packs Glasgow have been helping individuals and families across Greater Glasgow for the last 21 years.  We do so by providing over 60 items in our starter packs such as crockery, kettle, toaster, pots, pans, bedding, towels, toiletries and cleaning products.   Packs are available by referral to anybody experiencing poverty, often having been homeless, fleeing domestic situations, moving on from the armed forces, prison or care.   Helping to empower people in building a new life with dignity, these packs ease the financial burden and pressure when moving into a new home.  They also help alleviate poverty and the mental and physical ill health caused by it.   Allowing people to settle into their new homes more quickly, they reduce the chances of them having to leave the tenancy, also helping to break the cycle of homelessness.
