How to Support GCP

Help us build a community where everyone has the opportunity to connect, grow and contribute.

GCP brings people together through our Members Programme, Open Door Services, learning and employability opportunities, volunteering, community activities and social enterprises.

We rely on the support of our funders, donors, sponsors, customers and volunteers to keep these opportunities going. Your support helps us sustain a welcoming place where people can build relationships, develop skills, discover their strengths and take positive steps towards their own goals.

There are lots of ways to support our community. You can:

  • Donate – help us continue providing activities, meals, support and opportunities.
  • Fund or sponsor our work – support a particular programme, project or area of our work.
  • Volunteer – share your time, skills and experience with our community.
  • Support our social enterprises – eat, shop, book an event or buy something made through GCP. The income we generate helps support our wider community.
  • Partner with us – work with GCP to create opportunities, share skills and make a difference together.

Every contribution helps make GCP THE good place to be.

Donate materials and resources

As well as people volunteering their time, we also receive many non-financial donations of materials and resources. We gratefully accept these when we have capacity to use and store them within our community.

If you have something you would like to donate that could potentially help us, please contact us to discuss: 0131 225 3626.

Legacies

We believe in a future that is more inclusive for everyone. With a gift to the Grassmarket Community Project in your will you will help provide support and nurture for vulnerable people, to improve their health and well-being, develop their full potential and move away from cycles of failure. Please ensure you take appropriate legal advice when drafting your will.

Thank you

Although we strive to support ourselves through social enterprise as much as we can, we still rely on donations to sustain our community. Without these we could not keep our community going, which provides support and nurture to so many people in desperate need.

We are very grateful for all the support we receive. THANK YOU!
