MCR Pathways knows that all young people are talented. However, South Lanarkshire's care-experienced young people and other pupils face challenges beyond their control that make it more difficult for them to succeed. These young people are in our communities, but we don’t always see their struggles. As a community, we can change this. MCR recruits and trains volunteer mentors who are matched...

These examinations require volunteer patients with clear physical signs (e.g. a heart murmur) that can be found by a skilled doctor when they examine a patient, or symptoms (e.g. breathlessness).

At MCR, we know that there is amazing potential and talent in all young people, regardless of their home life and circumstances. But for many, that potential has yet to be discovered. Life experience has knocked the confidence out of some, firmly locking away those seeds of aspiration and hope. It is our aim to uncover, nurture, and develop the skills and capabilities of our most...

A befriender will be matched with an older person (50 and over) in their area that is isolated or lonely. They will spend time with them offering companionship to build their confidence and link them back into social activities. Many of our clients have very few visitors or people to go and see them so our volunteers spend time with someone whether through a cuppa and a chat in the clients...

Bike for Good is a charity and social enterprise which started in July 2010 in a small stall in Glasgow’s Barras market. With a few donated bikes, a cobbled-together tool kit and a team of volunteers with a huge amount of passion and drive, Bike for Good (then known as Glasgow Bike Shed) was born!

We now have three thriving Community Hubs in Glasgow and an amazing team of 42 staff members...
