Unity Centre Glasgow

The UNITY Centre needs your help to stay open.

We need to raise £2,500. Please make a donation today to help us.

Over the three years the Unity Centre has been open in Glasgow over 2,000 asylum seekers and their dependents have registered their personal details with us. On average thirty people come into the Centre every day to sign before they go to report or because they need our help.

At the same time we have given support to over 300 people who have been put into detention without warning by the Home Office. Over half of the people we have helped have been released with their families and returned back to Glasgow to continue their asylum claim.

For the last three years we have been open from 10.30 to 6pm five days a week. And we have done all of this with only volunteers and without funding. No-one is paid to work in the Unity Centre and we rely 100 per cent on donations from supporters.

Over the coming month we hope to start an ambitious new project – the Unity in the Community charity (registered charity SCO40466) which will have a second Unity office and shop at Govan Cross. This charity will allow us extend the sort of services we provide for asylum seekers and refugees and will let us organise more intercultural events to bring people together in the local community.
