Govan HELP has exciting development plans for the future, and we are looking to recruit new trustees to our Board, strengthening governance to help lead the organisation through the next phase of our development.

About Govan HELP

Govan Home and Education Link Project (Govan HELP) is a local Family Support charity based in the heart of the community in the Govan area of Glasgow. Our services aim to support children and families from the local area to overcome problems, build resilience and confidence, and achieve overall improvements in the quality of family life.

We offer five different services at Govan HELP, these being: Family Support, Play Therapy, Training and Volunteering, Adult Counselling and our most recent development, The Govan Pantry, which has evolved from a food bank project set up in response to the pandemic. We have close links with schools, social work and health colleagues in the local area and work collaboratively with organisations to achieve stronger outcomes for children and families. In addition, we work with a wide range of third sector partner agencies to build a more holistic package of support for families, tailored to their individual needs.

We know that the kinds of issues our families face can be wide ranging and include things like physical and mental health conditions, drug and alcohol addiction, housing and debt issues, domestic abuse, and trauma. These issues are further compounded by the impacts of poverty and deprivation which is widespread in the communities of Greater Govan. Our services aim to alleviate many of the symptoms of poverty and deprivation, and we take a holistic approach to resolving the issues that families are struggling to cope with to ensure we can support families to achieve positive social, economic, and educational outcomes. Our services are often a lifeline for families who are facing complex and difficult circumstances and aim to respond to needs within the local community by developing local solutions that are aligned closely with needs.

More information on our services is available as govanhelp.org

Why become a Trustee at Govan HELP?

Trustees have an important role at Govan HELP. They share responsibility for governing us as a charity, setting our strategic aims and directing how we’re run on a day-to-day basis. Trustees’ activities also include vetting and administering funding applications and representing us at events. The ultimate goal of Trustees is to ensure that everything we do maximises the benefit for our service users — that is, families in Govan.

We are a registered charity, so Trustees must ensure we comply with current charity laws and guidelines as set out by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR). You may find it helpful to look at OSCR’s guidance for charity trustees.

Are you eligible?

We aim to have a Board that is representative of our diverse stakeholder base and anyone can apply who believes they will add value to the charity. The role of a Trustee demands commitment, but it’s also stimulating and very rewarding!

This year, we are looking to recruit new Trustees to join the Board at Govan HELP.

In particular, we are looking for nominees with the following knowledge and experience:

• Finance
• Governance
• Fundraising
• Counselling, clinical, and/or support services
• Venue management
• Volunteering
• Charity experience
• Early years and/or education

While we welcome applications from all parts of society, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from candidates from black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, and those local to the Govan area

Turning Point Scotland is the biggest provider of services to people experiencing or at risk of Homelessness across Scotland, delivering support to around 2000 individuals on any given day, 4500 per year.

We provide support to people who are;

• Experiencing Homelessness
• At risk of Homelessness; and / or
• Need some support to protect their home

Around two thirds of our work is with people who are experiencing Homelessness.

We believe a menu of options should be available to individuals to prevent, or support someone to move on from Homelessness. This ensures we use a ‘no wrong door’ approach to accessing service and behind this door, people should be met with a ‘Whole System Approach’ to support.

We deliver a range of outreach services including Housing Support (Short and Long Term / Intensive); Housing First and Crisis Support.

The premise of Housing First is that housing is a basic human right and is an integral part of a holistic support package offered to individuals. The premise of Housing First is that housing is a basic human right and is an integral part of a holistic support package offered to individuals.

The service is person centred with the individual choosing their own priorities in their recovery and flexibility in support.

The support we provide is always person centred, we do this by involving people who know the person well, this includes family and friends, other health and Social Work professionals, Advocacy services and our own staff members.

Provan Hall Community Management Trust are seeking new Trustees

Provan Hall is an A listed medieval building located in Auchinlea Park, which sits at the heart of Easterhouse, Glasgow. It is the best example of a medieval fortified house in Scotland with records of its existence dating back to the 1470s. The building has recently undergone a £3m restoration by Glasgow City Council that will safeguard this important heritage asset as a new hub for heritage learning and engagement, and a visitor gateway to the Seven Lochs Wetland Park.

Following its restoration, Provan Hall is managed and operated by the independent charity, Provan Hall Community Management Trust. The aim of the Trust is to engage and inspire local people to value and take part in caring for their local heritage and to put Provan Hall on Scotland’s tourism map. We are an ambitious organisation with a community heart. We aim to provide opportunities that connect local people and visitors to Provan Hall through inclusive and creative means of heritage interpretation, activities and volunteering. To develop our sustainability, we generate income through venue hires, a gift shop, by acting as a filming location and through donations.

Provan Hall Community Management Trust formed in 2017 during the building’s restoration and we opened Provan Hall in September 2023 to the public. Since 2023, we have made strides in developing our resilience and sustainability for the future. We have high hopes for continuing to develop our community engagement and initiating our tourism strategies. This is an exciting time to join our Trust in the early stages of our building operation, to help lay strong foundations for a bright future.

Homelessness and Prevention

Turning Point Scotland is the biggest provider of services to people experiencing or at risk of Homelessness across Scotland, delivering support to around 2000 individuals on any given day, 4500 per year.

We believe that in many cases, Homelessness is entirely preventable. Where Homelessness is not or cannot be, prevented the experience should be brief and non-recurring.

We provide support to people who are;

• Experiencing Homelessness
• At risk of Homelessness; and / or
• Need some support to protect their home

Around two thirds of our work is with people who are experiencing Homelessness.

We believe a menu of options should be available to individuals to prevent, or support someone to move on from Homelessness. This ensures we use a ‘no wrong door’ approach to accessing service and behind this door, people should be met with a ‘Whole System Approach’ to support.

We deliver a range of outreach services including Housing Support (Short and Long Term / Intensive); Housing First and Crisis Support.

Our ambitions are high for those we help; we want everyone to reach their full potential, to become active and valued members of their community, to acquire the life skills and decision-making capabilities to lead a stable productive and fulfilling life.

Turning Point Scotland is the lead partner in the consortium and work in partnership with Simon Community Scotland, Wheatley Care and The Salvation Army.
