The Marie Trust has been responding to the complex and often challenging needs of people affected by homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion since 2009. The charity aims to prevent and alleviate homelessness, offering a holistic, trauma-informed approach for individuals who often face challenging and traumatic experiences, recognising that people need more than a roof over their heads to feel safe and secure. We aim to provide early intervention to prevent crisis from escalating, to support people to develop structure in their lives, aid recovery, and rehabilitation, and provide, opportunities for self-growth and healing to prevent homelessness from becoming a revolving door.
When people get to The Marie Trust, they feel they can breathe. Everywhere they go they are subject to huge scrutiny, but not there. It is somewhere that they can feel safe and valued, things a lot of people take for granted.
in 2022-23, The Marie Trust delivered essential support and services to some of the most vulnerable citizens in Glasgow, with 2734 individuals accessing the services for individual support.
In 2022-23, we received 1642 homeless presentations for assistance with accommodation, rooflessness, mental health, and addiction support.
100% of the individuals who participated in our Volunteering Program experienced an improvement in their mental health, as well as feeling less isolated, with more opportunities in their lives to connect with people and services.
In 2022-23, our Education Program delivered 20 accredited courses from levels SCQF 3-6, and 12 non accredited courses, with over 1000 presentations, enabling those who took part to develop a wider set of skills to support them into further education.
