Two organisations are marking a decade of impact with a joint celebration.
The Wheatley Foundation and the Hymans Robertson Foundation recently celebrated their 10th anniversaries at an event held at Wheatley’s headquarters on Tuesday, March 17.
Since 2016, both foundations have supported thousands of people through programmes focused on financial wellbeing, employment and training, digital inclusion, and education.
The two foundations have worked closely together since 2023 as two of the founding partners of the Wee Bursary programme, alongside FARE Scotland, Glasgow City Council, and Clyde Gateway.
This programme supports young people aged 11–25 across Glasgow by providing essential resources to help them remain in education, training, or employment.

Since its launch, the Wee Bursary has supported more than 700 children and young people with digital access, food and fuel support, contributions to education trips, driving lessons, and specialist training.
Professor Paddy Gray OBE, chair of the Wheatley Foundation, said: "Marking 10 years of Wheatley Foundation alongside the Hymans Robertson Foundation is a proud moment.
"Over the past decade, Wheatley Foundation has been committed to helping people overcome barriers and reach their potential.
"Working alongside the Hymans Robertson Foundation is a powerful example of what can be achieved when organisations come together with a shared purpose.
"Whether through the Wee Bursary or the many other programmes we deliver, the impact is real, tangible and life-changing.
"As we look ahead, we remain committed to working with partners across the country to ensure people of all ages have the chance to thrive and build better futures."
Wheatley Foundation, part of Wheatley – Scotland’s leading housing, care and property management group – invests £8.8 million each year to create opportunities for people living in Wheatley communities.
The Hymans Robertson Foundation supports young people and causes designed to promote financial resilience, improve employability and tackle social inequality.
