International law firm Ashurst has announced a new
local charity partnership with Glasgow's Golden
Generation.
The
charity, previously known as Glasgow Old People's Welfare
Association, was founded in 1948 and over 70 years has been
supporting the elderly in Glasgow to live more independent lives,
through welfare services, day care centres and weekly
clubs.
Ashurst's Glasgow office is
already planning a range of fundraising events and
staff will be volunteering to contribute to the
charity's initiatives to help elderly citizens in Glasgow,
including a befriending service.
Mike Polson, managing partner at
Ashurst's Glasgow office, said, "Ashurst globally has a very strong
commitment to support corporate responsibility and pro bono
activity. Our people in Glasgow share this commitment and are
actively engaged in a wide range of activities. Thanks to this
important partnership, we have the opportunity to come together,
raise awareness, funds and to give our time to help elderly
citizens suffering from loneliness and isolation."
Morag McIntosh, interim chief
executive of Glasgow's Golden Generation, said, "We are really
excited about our partnership with Ashurst"
