Business in Glasgow

New Venue: Glasgow City Mission’s new HQ in Crimea Street

Our final Business in Glasgow seminar provides all our supporters and participants a unique opportunity to visit the recently opened premises of the Glasgow City Mission, an organisation which began in 1826 through the vision and compassion of David Naismith its founder.

Once the first of its kind, now duplicated in the major cities of the planet, Glasgow City Mission continues to offer practical as well as spiritual support to the most vulnerable in the City of Glasgow.

With the recession continuing to make significant inroads into our city’s working population it is a good thing to remind ourselves that vulnerability is not just reserved for the poor of society. We are witnessing, if not experiencing, such vulnerability across the business scene too but as with many successful charitable organisations the Glasgow City Mission is a reminder that there is also hope and a future.

We are grateful to Glasgow City Mission for offering to host this event, and we welcome anyone from the business community in Glasgow to join us.
