NotAlone Empowerment Centre

Constitutional objectives

(a) The prevention or relief of poverty through the delivery of activities that will seek to equip beneficiaries from low-income families in Glasgow and its environs (including asylum seeker and refugees communities) that have been referred to us from existing charities or public bodies with practical skills and vocational training that can aid them in reaching positive outcomes in relation to employment, volunteering or accessing essential resources in order to reduce their financial hardship. Our intervention will seek to improve independence, support family wellbeing and reduce reliance on public services. (b) The advancement of health through the provision of wellbeing and exercise classes to beneficiaries delivered in a safe and culturally sensitive space. We also seek to deliver free health education workshops to our beneficiaries with the aid of external professional speakers who have a deep knowledge around these topics. Our activities will seek to support our beneficiaries to reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, promote healthier lifestyles within their respective communities as well as supporting the wellbeing of vulnerable community members. (c) The promotion of equality and diversity by supporting beneficiaries from different cultural, ethnic and social backgrounds to participate fully in society. To do this we seek to bring together women from diverse cultures to build understanding, dignity and respect. host capacity building, leadership and wellness workshops to increase confidence. create opportunities for shared learning, cultural exchange, and improved community cohesion. and offer signposting and guidance to relevant services for those needing additional support.
