Cassiltoun Supports Young People Start their Career in Housing

June 2023

There is currently discussion in the housing sector about how we encourage more people to choose housing as a career.  Over its long history Cassiltoun has always supported people of all ages to gain skills and experience through volunteering opportunities and work placements and this year has been no different.  We were delighted this summer when 4 members of our staff/Modern Apprentices completed their qualifications in Business SCQF level  6 .  All four have been successful in gaining employment in the sector.

Hazardous Waste Campaign

In Glasgow, there has been a significant increase in hazardous - often explosive - items being deposited in domestic bins. These items are unsafe and cannot be managed through the normal waste and recycling collection services.

Incorrect disposal of hazardous items puts the health and safety of staff at risk and jeopardises the integrity of critical processing infrastructure.  Glasgow City Council have launched their first phase of their Hazardous Waste Campaign.  More information can be found on their website www.glasgow.gov.uk/hazardouswaste.

A huge thank you to everyone who voted for Cassiltoun. We won the Judges Panel Award who were "impressed with the stories of impact", particularly during lock down when we launched the Digital Lending Library and put all of our activities and events online.
We’ve sourced 170 tablets,250 WiFi connections,8 laptops,8 desktop computers and 40 smartphones for those experiencing digital poverty alongside support to use beneficially: in 2021 alone we engaged with people 675 times.
We were nominated for this award for the work that we have been doing to alleviate digital poverty. It recognizes the combined effort of our staff team, volunteers and funders to deliver projects which promote digital inclusion both during the pandemic and beyond!
