Starter Packs supplies household items to those in 'critical situations' - from homelessness to fleeing domestic abuse - who would otherwise have nothing.
A 'unique' Glasgow charity is asking the public to help keep their doors open as it struggles amid Brexit and the cost of living crisis.
"Housing associations assess the need of those who are being placed in homes and contact us to help with getting a pack together for them. These are people often in critical situations so they need help getting on their feet in their new home. "We try where possible to use donations made to our charity shops like plates and cups, but there are items that we have to buy. We also give them vouchers to spend in our shops in case there is anything that they need which is not in the packs such as kids toys."
"We have fantastic loyal customers and people who donate some great stuff. But the packs are expensive and we are scrambling to make sure we have enough money to create them."
