Our Partners

At The Well, we work alongside a number of local organisations, charities, and churches to ensure that we can provide the best support for our community. Here’s a look at some of the key partners we collaborate with:

Local Churches

We have strong partnerships with local churches, including Govanhill Free Church and Queen’s Park Govanhill Parish Church. These churches generously provide venues for many of our events and activities and offer volunteers to support our work. Several other churches across Glasgow such as Burnside Blairbeth, Torrance, Stonelaw Church, also support us financially, either through corporate giving or donations from individual members.

South East Integration Network (SEIN)

As part of the South East Integration Network, we join other third sector organisations to share best practices and collaborate on opportunities to better serve the community. This network has enabled us to connect with additional organisations, allowing us to refer clients to other valuable services when needed.

The Space

We have worked with The Space, a local charity that focuses on supporting Roma women. Together, we’ve hosted events that provide cultural and social support to local women, strengthening our community connections and fostering inclusion.

Giggle n’ Grow

In partnership with Giggle n’ Grow, we offer a Bookbug session as part of our Bubbles Toddler Group. A representative from Giggle n’ Grow leads the session, which is designed to engage children in literacy activities through songs, storytelling, and fun. Giggle n’ Grow has also generously donated multilingual children’s books to our waiting area, helping to bridge language barriers and promote early literacy.

“We are happy to have a Bookbug session as part of Bubbles. It helps us reach minority ethnic parents with literacy-related activities. Bubbles is very well attended and provides a friendly environment.”
— A. Giggle n- Grow Session Leader

Glasgow South East Foodbank

We are proud to be a referral site for Glasgow South East Foodbank, issuing around 100 food vouchers annually. The number of referrals has significantly increased due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, highlighting the growing need for support in our community.

Police Scotland

We maintain a positive working relationship with Police Scotland and were honoured to be the pilot site for their third-party reporting scheme on race-related crime. This initiative allows individuals to report incidents of racial abuse or discrimination in a safe, supportive environment, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to justice and protection.

East Renfrewshire Good Causes (ERGC)

Established 17 years ago by Russell Macmillan, ERGC operates across Scotland and provides vital support to vulnerable individuals. Inspired by Russell’s own successful organ transplant, the charity focuses on direct aid to individuals in need. We collaborate with them to connect individuals facing hardship with essential resources and support.

MILK Glasgow (MILK)

MILK is a social enterprise dedicated to supporting women from migrant backgrounds, including refugees and asylum seekers. They run a welcoming community space on Cathcart Road, offering groups, classes, and workshops to promote integration and build a supportive network. We cross-refer individuals, ensuring that women receive comprehensive support tailored to their unique needs.
