CITY Building has reaffirmed its support for the local community by donating £30,000 to ten different Glasgow charities.
The donations reflect the firm’s commitment to making a positive impact and supporting causes that are close to the hearts of its employees and wider community.
Two of the causes, Breast Cancer Now and Prostate Cancer Scotland, were chosen by staff at City Building as part of ongoing awareness and fundraising work between the organisations and employees. Both charities held sessions with staff to raise awareness of their respective cancers and how to access support if required.
Breast Cancer Now and Prostate Cancer Scotland each received a £5,000 donation, whilst £10,000 was donated to Action for Children, £4,000 to Homeless Kindness Street Team, £1,000 to Kennishead Larder, £1,000 to Sandyhills Larder, £1,000 to Pollok Pantry, £1,000 to North West Pantry, £1,000 to Ruchazie Pantry, and £1,000 to the Wheatley Foundation for Pantry Network.
The firm explained that, by addressing issues such as childhood poverty, cancer research, homelessness, and food insecurity, it aims to contribute to building a stronger and more resilient community for all.
Mandy Morgan, chief executive of the Scottish Pantry Network, said, “I want to give a big thank you to City Building for their amazing help and generous donation. Their support means a lot to The Scottish Pantry Network and its communities. Together, we’re making a better tomorrow where every little bit counts.
“With City Building by our side, we’re confident we can make real changes that make people’s lives better. Thank you for believing in what we do and for caring about our communities.”
Mae Bell, information and advice manager at Prostate Scotland, added, “We are sincerely appreciative of City Building’s wonderful donation. This will make a huge difference to our ability to provide information, support, and awareness-raising activities for those impacted by prostate cancer and disease. The generosity of everyone engaged in making this donation is greatly appreciated.”
Alan Burns, executive director at City Building, commented, “As a company deeply rooted in the Glasgow community, we recognise the importance of giving back and supporting those who need it most. City Building’s commitment is entirely led by our compassionate workforce, and we hope that our contributions can help alleviate some of the burdens they face.
“As one of the largest employers in the area we understand our role in driving change and having our staff lead these donations ensure that we are help causes that are making the biggest difference in our communities.”
