Glasgow Warriors announce partnership with Well-Fed
Glasgow Warriors are proud to be formalising its support of Well-Fed Scotland, following the Whiteinch group’s confirmation as the club’s Official Social Enterprise Partner.
The partnership strengthens the connection between the pair, following a year that has seen the club and the Warrior Nation wholeheartedly throw their support behind Well-Fed’s invaluable work within the community.
Established in 2017, the Whiteinch-based social enterprise has been working tirelessly to support those most in-need in recent months, providing food parcels and pre-prepared meals to those at risk of social and economic isolation.
Well-Fed’s work has seen them provide over 33,000 free meals and over 50 events – including Christmas dinners in 2017, 2018 and 2019 – as well as offering free school holiday activity and a free homework and learning club for families within the local community.
A Crowdfunding appeal in April 2020 saw the Warrior Nation step up and rally around the social enterprise, helping to raise over £21,000 to allow Well-Fed to continue their vital support of those at risk in a challenging year.
Supporters also turned out in force at last December’s meeting with La Rochelle at Scotstoun, donating thousands of items to the Whiteinch foodbank ahead of the club’s Heineken Champions Cup clash in dire conditions.

If you’re coming to our game at Scotstoun today and if you’re able to please bring at least one item for our Foodbank appeal.
