Finding Your Feet opens Paisley charity hub to Glasgow businesses affected by Union Street fire

Finding Your Feet, Scotland’s only nationwide charity supporting people and families affected by amputation or limb difference, is making available a number of rooms at its Paisley charity hub to small businesses displaced by the devastating Union Street fire in Glasgow.

The fire, which broke out on Sunday 8 March and tore through a B-listed building in Glasgow city centre, has left more than 30 businesses without premises. Many lost everything, including equipment, stock and years of hard work.

Finding Your Feet has available workspace at its Paisley hub and wants to offer that space to affected businesses while they find their feet again.

“Our hearts go out to everyone who’s lost their business in this fire. These are people who’ve put everything into what they’ve built, and watching it go up in smoke is devastating. We can’t fix that, but we do have space at our Paisley hub and we want to offer it. If it helps even one business keep going while they find their feet again, that’s enough for us.” Cor Hutton, Founder, Finding Your Feet

The offer is open to any business affected by the fire. Finding Your Feet asks only that businesses get in touch to discuss what’s available and whether it might work for them.
