Why we do what we do

Learn more about our cause

Open Gates will support prisoners and ex-prisoners through an employment and training programme with the aim of reducing re-offending. This is achieved through house clearance, and the selling of used and donated furniture in Glasgow.

Services that our charity offers

Renovations

We have completed numerous renovations on both retail and domestic properties to a high standard with all of the necessary accreditations.

House Clearances

We have a retail operation in Maryhill Road linked to our house clearance and renovation business based in our Warehouse.

Vocational Training

We provide vocational based training across a range of subjects with a view to transitioning our staff into full time employment.
We believe in working together

Difference made so far

Individuals who have managed to break the cycle will use their experience to mentor and support other offenders to do the same. Operating as a social enterprise, the organisation will recycle and upcycle furniture and white goods and sell to the general public.
