Aim
With rising energy costs, Garnsychan Partnership have launched a new warm hub for residents to access support and keep warm this winter.
Who are we?
The Garnsychan Wellbeing Hub based at GarnsychanHQ was created following the impact of the recent global pandemic and the increasing cost of living.
It has become clear how many people in our Community needed support and assistance but were unaware of where to seek help.
In order to simplify the process, we created a one-stop platform where people could find the help and support, they needed from a single trusted source.
Through Welcome Space the community can access a wide range of support services, or just enjoy a warm drink and some company.
FREE access to:
- Computers
- Employability Support
- Financial Advice
- Craft Corner & Library Section
- Childrens Corner
- Movies & Gaming
- Foodbank Support
Community impact
Our goal is to build a future where all of us can take part in making our communities sustainable.
We are a registered charity that exists to:
● Support communities to become sustainable, empowered, and prosperous
● Provide opportunities for people to improve their health
● Encouraging social inclusion
● Improving people’s access to learning opportunities, qualifications, and training
● Deliver efficient and effective waste and recycling
● Support people and communities to engage in positive activities
Why are we crowdfunding?
Many households are experiencing extra financial pressures and worries following the rapid increase in the cost of living and rising fuel costs. This has seen a huge increase in demand on our services to help support those most vulnerable and in need within our community, many of which may have not needed help previously.
How we’ll spend the money raised
Any money raised through Crowdfunder will be used to support the wide range of support services the community can access through our Welcome Space. Including emergency food parcels, fuel vouchers and warm packs, which will prove vital over the winter period and the following months.
