Big Partnership for Welfare Project at ng homes

SCOTTISH Labour Leader Jim Murphy and Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves visited ng homes earlier this week to hear about the Big Partnership for Welfare project.

The project received almost £1M from the Big Lottery to help people throughout Glasgow to get help and support to improve their financial skills and access bank accounts and affordable loans.

As lead partner North Glasgow based ng homes will manage the three year Glasgow Big Partnership for Welfare Project which will benefit tenants who are experiencing financial exclusion and difficulties.

Ann Marie Devlin, Depute CEO of ng homes said: “Over the past few years we have offered money advice in our offices and with the Big Partnership for Welfare Project we will be able to reach more families on low incomes and help them to improve their financial skills.”

Chairperson of ng homes John Fury said: “It was a great opportunity to make our elected representatives aware of the work going on across North Glasgow.”

Mr Murphy and Ms Reeves were accompanied to Saracen House by local MP William Bain who said: “I really appreciate the work that ng homes do in my constituency, they are more than just a housing association and I know from speaking to people in the community how much they have been helped by the various projects ng homes runs in North Glasgow.”

At the event both Labour politicians made speeches with Ms Reeves stating that a UK Labour Government would abolish the bedroom tax and Mr Murphy announcing a £175M Scottish Anti-Poverty Fund would be created with the money saved from the abolition of the bedroom tax.
