At Won Connect CIC, we believe in the power of connection and community. For years, we’ve been empowering individuals in Glasgow through digital skills training, workshops, and social inclusion activities. However, we’ve hit a roadblock: we don’t have a permanent home.
We’re currently relying on libraries and community centres, which limits our ability to serve our community effectively. We’re losing contracts, clients, and opportunities because we lack a dedicated space where people can come to us, feel supported, and thrive.
That’s why we’re launching this fundraising campaign to raise £12,000 to secure a premises with three dedicated spaces:
Office Space: For our team to work and meet clients.
Training Space: For digital skills training, workshops, and one-to-one sessions.
Event Space: For community gatherings, social inclusion activities, and events.
This space will be a hub of hope, learning, and connection for everyone in our community, especially the elderly and those who feel left behind in today’s digital world.
Why We Need Your Help
To make this vision a reality, we need to cover the following costs:
One Year’s Rent: £6,000
Utilities: £2,000
Equipment:
10 Laptops: £2,000
Printer: £100
Chairs and Tables: £200
Cups and Glasses: £100
Projector: £200
Reserve Fund: £1,400 (for unexpected expenses)
