URGENT APPEAL: Help Keep Our Women’s Service Open! We need to raise £60,000 to keep our Women’s Service running for the next 10 months. Across Glasgow and the surrounding areas, gender-based violence is rising sharply. Without your help, women in Glasgow (and the surrounding areas) will lose access to life-saving support when they need it most.
So far, we have raised £1,385, and thank you to everyone for their contributions & support. But we still need to do more.

For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, the theme is Action and sometimes the most powerful action we can take is making sure people aren’t facing life alone.
The impact we have with our Women's Service is the action of connection, support and safe spaces. These are vital for protecting our mental health. But right now, our Women’s Service is at risk of closure.
This week, we’re asking our community to take action:
💛 Donate if you can
💛 Share our campaign
Help us keep this lifeline open for women who need support and connection. Every action matters.

We know that alcohol and mental health are often closely connected. Taking a moment to reflect on our drinking habits, checking in with ourselves, and having honest conversations can all be positive steps forward.
If you’re thinking about making a change, whether that’s cutting down, taking a break, or simply learning more, visit: .uk to take confidential screening.

Congratulations to the twelve participants in our employability services who successfully completed the COSCA Counselling Skills course last month! Here are nine of them pictured with tutor Neil on their final day of class.
The COSCA Counselling Skills course is a great introduction to counselling skills and a fantastic opportunity for individuals who are working or volunteering in a support role, or for individuals who want to progress on to a future career in counselling.
To learn more about courses that Murray’s Initiative has to offer, you can visit our website, see link in Bio.
Last Thursday, we attended the Best Bar None Glasgow launch morning, where we engaged with multiple security firms, pubs, bars, and venues across Scotland who are joining the scheme this year to provide a safer night-time economy across the city.
Our Community Engagement Team provided some alcohol awareness and shared information about our training we can provide to support keeping the public safe on nights out.
