MCR Launches 2018 #GiveAnHour Campaign

Today, we’re kicking off our #GiveAnHour campaign. In 2018, we’ll support more young people than ever before but we can’t do it without you! We need more Glaswegians who will pledge to #GiveAnHour to a deserving young person.

More care experienced and disadvantaged young people across Glasgow are asking for the help. Because they need, and deserve, to change their lives for the better. Spending just one hour a week will give a young person the support they need to find, grow and use their talents .

One hour a week doesn’t sound like much, but it makes a genuine, life-changing difference to a youngster. They might not have anyone else encouraging them to stay at school. Like all young people, they need someone who can help them believe that they can achieve what they want.

 

What our Young People Say

From January, our Young Glasgow Talent programme will be embedded in every secondary in the city. Because of this, so many more inspiring young people are asking for our help:
