Hope Amplified
Serving African families living in Glasgow and surrounding local authority areas, Hope Amplified (Glasgow) provide after school, holiday and youth club services for the families they support, many of whom are unemployed or on Universal Credit.
They are using their funding to make childcare more affordable to families from the African Community to allow them time for work, training or study. In addition to using the ACF grant to extend their networks into North Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire council areas thereby testing the growth of an African-Scottish community in and around Glasgow, the funding is also being used to trial some level of weekend and holiday clubs, as well as weekend day trips.
