Construction firm, The JR Group, donated more than 50 boxes of vital supplies to Glasgow-based homelessness charity Kindness Homeless in time for Christmas.

The Paisley-based construction group collected supplies such as clothing, toiletries, sweets and gifts for the charity’s Christmas shoebox appeal, which provides care packages to people experiencing homelessness across Glasgow supporting them over the winter months.

The team also donated more than 800 selection boxes to charities and organisations across Scotland, providing a treat to groups across the country, including, The Wheatley Group, Elderpark Housing Association in Govan, Williamsburgh Nursery in Paisley and Street Soccer Scotland.

These bumper donations were distributed earlier this week by The JR Group elves, who hand-delivered the selection boxes to each group – helping to provide some extra cheer this Christmas.

Gayle O’Hear, at The JR Group, said: “Supporting local charities and groups in the communities which we build has always been a priority for us, so it is great to be able to give a boost to so many organisations with our selection box deliveries and our shoebox donations to Kindness Homeless.

“I’d like to thank every member of our team, our sub-contractors and suppliers, who kindly donated these vital items this year.”

Founded in Govan in 1995, and now based in Paisley, The JR Group started as a scaffolding business and has grown to become one of Scotland’s largest building and construction firms – employing around 200 staff. The JR Group has a proven track record of delivering outstanding projects for leading UK housebuilders, registered social landlords and private clients across Scotland and the North of England.
