St Giles Peer Advisor Network

Everyone at St Giles is so proud of Brendan Ross for being awarded the 2022 Longford Prize. Brendan, and our whole Peer Circles team, do fantastic work providing employment support to people facing multiple disadvantages. Well-deserved and a proud moment for all at St Giles.

According to PwC, the expected average spend, per person, this #BlackFriday is £238. For less than half of that, £47.83, you could provide a family in need, with healthy meals for a month! Support our #ChristmasAppeal today: bit.ly/3AxXbOP
