Our Charitable Partner

Each year our new charitable partner is chosen by the GCFS committee. Since our inception, we have supported a range of local charities covering a broad range of pressing issues and have grown to be one of the UK’s largest student fundraisers.

 Past charitable partners reflect on the difference support from the community makes in the work they do.

 A word from Glasgow and Clyde Rape Crisis:

“Every donation we receive goes directly to supporting women, children and young people who have experienced domestic abuse and we are so grateful for the £43,047 raised by the GCFS. With this money, we were able to recruit a dedicated Crisis Support worker to run the helpline and give survivors a consistent person to speak to.”

GCFS are proud to announce our Charitable Partner for 2024 as Impact Arts. Impact Arts is an incredible Glasgow-based charity, who’s unifying mission is to tackle societal inequalities through creative engagement. Through a series of different collaborative art and arts therapy workshops, the charity delivers wellbeing and core-skills support to those most vulnerable within our Glaswegian community.

Their work, based on the knowledge that sometimes people need an alternative approach to progress positively through live, involve regular arts-based activities that aim to create life-changing results, through both its therapy and engagement. Since 1994, the charity has been working with those in restricting situations, such as living with mental health conditions, dealing with trauma, unemployment, or life after leaving the criminal justice system.

Reaching all age groups, the team at impact arts continue to improve life chances and empower communities across Glasgow every day. Their powerful message of art improving lives rings true to GCFS’s core message, and for these reasons we are thrilled to welcome them as our charitable partner for our 10th annual show!
