Funding has been received from the National Lottery Community Fund and the Scottish Government/Scottish Federations of Housing Association grants to support the community with fuel top up support, food, warm winter jackets and duvets, furnishing support and small energy-saving cooking equipment.

ng homes staff have been working closely with community partners to make sure that the support goes to those who are finding times difficult. This support is open to the community whether they are tenants or owners or whether they are on benefits, working, retired.

Over the past few weeks, ng homes’ Housing and Community Regeneration teams have been phoning the most vulnerable tenants, checking in and finding out what help they may need. The committed staff are also working closely with dedicated volunteers and local partners to provide food vouchers from local businesses and organisations.

Lynne Cooper, director of housing services at ng homes, said: “Our housing and community regeneration teams are working together to support our customers and the North Glasgow community during the cost-of-living crisis. We are urging our tenants and owners to contact us if they wish to discuss confidentially the support they require.”

Margaret Fraser, deputy director of regeneration, said: “ng homes is working with our community partners to ensure this support meets the needs of the wider community. In addition to this, we continue to operate our furniture and furnishings redistribution service funded through National Lottery Community Fund.”

Tenants or owners of ng homes can contact ng homes by emailing info@nghomes.net and include their details and a contact number/email.

ng homes is busy planning Community Information days for the North Glasgow community which will bring together a range of support and advice agencies.

Details on future events will be shared online and social media channels.
