“The opportunity to broaden our young peoples perspectives through new experiences, the breaking down of barriers and the encouragement of skills development was enhanced through the support of the Merchants House Grant in 2018. This enabled 1675 participants to improve their confidence and allowed them to participate safely and effectively in groups, as part of our vision that our members should experience ‘life to the full’.”

The Boys’ Brigade Glasgow Battalion were awarded £3,000 in 2018.
