Find out first-hand about their work with men and women affected by homelessness, and learn about the preventative work they do with families.Glasgow City Mission was established in 1826 as the world�s first city mission by David Nasmith, who had a vision for pioneering Christian care where people�s physical, emotional and spiritual needs would be met. We have been working with people affected by poverty since then, adapting to a changing city and changing needs. Today the focus of our city centre project is with people affected by homelessness. Our city centre project is housed in a contemporary building which has won architecture awards. When people visit us they are often surprised that a building that caters for people who are homeless and marginalised is so well designed and full of light. Join us and learn more about how our building facilitates our work with people who are homeless and marginalised. We have a�roof garden, IT suite, music studio, art space and gym. Many of our guests had incredibly difficult childhoods and received little or no affirmation from parents or teachers. We help our guests grow in confidence and discover and develop their skills. Our guests have many skills and talents and we look forward to sharing these with you. Find out about our preventative work at our Child and Family Centre in Govan where we work with families affected by poverty. Our aim here is to ensure the children have the best possible start in life and that the parents can fulfil their own potential.� �� Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009
