Could your organisation partner with us this winter? 💜

When people are treated as people, and given the space and support they need, they can do amazing things. Organisations can be part of that by donating, fundraising as a team (running, baking, walking, dancing, or something new we come up with together), forming a charity partnership, or giving their team's time and skills.

How will you get involved this winter? 💜

People are amazing. We know that when people have safe spaces and support, they can do amazing things. This winter, we're inviting you to join our community.

You can donate or fundraise (just £25 provides an emergency welcome pack for someone arriving at our safe places), volunteer, partner with us, or share our 60th campaign films with the people around you.

“It grows by a seed. Just a tiny, tiny little seed. And then it flourishes into something massive.” 🌱 Connect Hub started as a weekly women’s group. Today, it's a vibrant welcoming space, shaped by women, for women. 💜 This is room to breathe. This is Simon Community Scotland.

“A plant grows from a tiny, tiny seed, and then it flourishes into something massive. That’s what I’m doing with my life.”

Every woman’s path is different, and big changes start small. Hear from two women on how they are changing their lives, and what the Connect Hub has meant to them.

The Connect Hub is the next in This is Community, marking 60 years of Simon Community Scotland.

''Everybody talks to everybody. Doesn't matter where you are or where you're from". For Simmy, the hub is a community. People share a joke, look out for each other and notice when someone's not alright. Time, trust and connection give people the space to find better in their lives. 💜 And 60 years on, relationships are still at the heart of everything we do.
