Volunteers from MAST Architects donate their time to a charity that provides lifeline support to tenants in the Whitley Group.
The Glasgow-based company’s Kerry Clark, Morgan Milne and Ashley Shanks helped out the Starter Packs charity during a volunteering day organized by the Wheatley Foundation.
Starter Packs provide essential household items such as crockery, toiletries, kettles and duvets for tenants moving into their new home. Volunteers help sort and package donations at the charity’s offices in Govan.
Senior architect Kerry Clark said: “Volunteering for the starter pack makes us realize how rewarding our work in designing new homes is and helps us learn more about the people who benefit from it.”
Gavin Dunbar, Managing Director of Starter Packs, added: “Volunteers make a huge contribution to the work that Starter Packs in Glasgow does week in, week out and it allows them to see that our services work for the people we support changes brought about.”
The volunteering day is part of a series of ‘community benefit’ events organized by the Whitley Group Charity Foundation, which uses the skills of Whitley contractors to directly benefit clients.
MAST Architects provides Wheatley bursary students with work experience and will be delivering digital workshops for clients this year.
Foundation director Lynne Mitchell said: “It’s great to see Wheatley Contractors stepping up to support people in our community and we look forward to continuing to work with MAST to benefit our customers.”
Starter Packs is always looking for donations of household items. You can contact them on 0141 440 1008 or email administrator@starterpacks.org.uk.
