 Our Mission Statement

Starter Packs Glasgow sources household goods on a predominantly reuse basis, we then redistribute these to households making the transition from homelessness to setting up their new homes in permanent tenancies.

No homeless person should move into their new property without access to affordable good quality household items.

In 2008 we assisted 908 households in the Greater Glasgow area, we redistributed goods with the value of over £150,000 - Alleviating potential debt burden. 172.4 tonnes was diverted from landfill sites, meaning that we are achieving environmental and social impact. Going into the end of the 3rd quarter of 2009 we have already passed 2008's total.

Starter Packs Glasgow is totally committed to helping people who are / or have been homeless, set up their new homes with basic items most of us would take for granted.
