A hotel partnership is being praised for helping brighten lives in some of Glasgow’s toughest circumstances.
The collaboration between Point A Hotel and homelessness prevention charity Right There is marking a year of support in aiding individuals and communities in need.
This 12-month collaboration began with small acts of kindness and has since grown into a sustained effort.
Now, Point A Hotel has Right There as its official Scottish charity partner as part of its UK-wide Wish for a Wish campaign.
Running over the festive period, this campaign invites guests at the hotel to donate during booking or at reception.
They can also leave messages of support on a Giving Tree displayed in the hotel.
Since Christmas 2024, staff have replaced their Secret Santa gift exchange with donations for residents in Right There’s supported accommodation, and donated Easter eggs earlier this year for young people across the charity’s services.
Janet Haugh, chief executive of Right There, said: “The support we have received from Point A over the last 12 months has made a clear and positive difference to the people we support.
“What began with kind acts of goodwill has grown into a genuine partnership, and we are incredibly grateful to the hotel and its staff for embracing this relationship with such generosity.
“Collaborations between charities and businesses bring huge value to both partners.
“For Right There, this partnership helps us continue our work to support people and families affected by homelessness, and to keep people connected to the ones they love, which feels especially important at this time of year.”

In addition to its seasonal campaigns, the hotel has also launched a year-round fundraising scheme, inviting guests to add a £1 donation to their bill to support Right There’s ongoing work.
Mark Minshall, cluster manager for Scotland at Point A Hotels, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the relationship we’ve built with Right There over the past year and to now name them as our official Scottish charity partner.
“The passion and generosity shown by our Scottish teams and our guests has been truly inspiring, and we’re delighted to continue supporting Right There’s vital work helping people and communities across Scotland.”
