Happy New Year, all! From all of us at GSA, we hope you had a lovely festive period. January was our AGM. We gave our volunteers an update on our progress and heard from our lovely partners such as Glasgow Street Pastors. We also voted in new trustees to give their expertise and help develop and shape the charity!

 This February, we saw almost double the amount of volunteer hours worked compared to last year. It's an incredible indication of just how much our charity is growing! 

It wasn't all work though, this month we celebrated National Mental Health Nurses Day who provide such a vital service to our community. 

We also celebrated National Love Your Pet Day and showed off all of our beautiful pets on our social media!

This month there were six incidents in which members of the public were verbally or physically aggressive towards our volunteers. 

The number of aggression logs hasn't been as high as this since October and we hope it doesn't get as high as this again or worse as we want our volunteers to feel safe!

In other news, some of our volunteers, in consultation with The Scottish Blood Donor Team, arranged a team visit to donate blood! 

A huge thank you to everyone who took part!

 Some of our volunteers (and one amazing dad) took part in the Glasgow KiltWalk this month!

Thanks to your donations, we raised an incredible £2,078.00!

 WHAT A MONTH!

Our volunteers were so, so busy and you all can see!

They attended the most amount of patients in a month than any other month since the charity began. 

As well as that, they dedicated 300 hours more than last month! 

One of our highest amount of monthly volunteer hours! 

A huge well done to all the volunteers!

 We completed our 5000th Incident log this month!

It's a huge achievement for us and we couldn't have done it without our amazing volunteers!

 We want to say a massive thank you to all our volunteers who took to the streets over the 3 days of TRNSMT weekend. 

As you can see from the stats, there were a lot of patients that we assisted this month. 

Our volunteer hours were also incredible with our volunteers working 533 hours during TRNSMT weekend alone! 

 Another very busy month for our volunteers!

We want to say a massive thank all of the volunteers who donated extra hours of their time to attend the Balloch Football Festival and the SFRS Festival of Fire! 

We also mark our 3rd Space to talk which was a massive success supporting 5 members of the public.  

 Another very busy month!
