With Uthink staff setting up in the heart of our communities to freshly cook and give out the free pizzas. The experience made for extremely exciting days for all members of the community. Picking toppings, watching the cooking process, and eating the delicious pizza. Uthink also provided sports equipment for the young people and families to play together. Making for easy conversional points for parents and neighbours to chat and form new links and friendships. Throughout the summer of 2023, more than 5000 slices of pizza were cooked and handed out, free of charge, to the community- Delivering family days at Craigour Park and Prestonfield Primary Schools, as well as family events over the school summer holidays.

.&.a411 •., Uthink are unique in that we offer tailored volunteering and development opportunities whilst providing accommodation to vulnerable aduLts when all other housing options have been exhausted.

Uthink have Schemes in Barnsley, Newton Le Willows, Haydock and The Wirral, each with its own unique surroundings and facilities. We have bee keeping, apple orchards, and a variety of gardens to engage our tenants in many physical and mental weLlbeing activities.
Client Testimony "I would just like to thank the whole team at Uthink for all the help and support that you have given me over the last 18 months. Firstly you gave me a home and prevented me from being homeless. I was on the brink mentally and I don't think I would be here today if you haven't have given me the opportunity at the time you did. You helped me to become more independent and give me belief that I can live the best life I can. Words can't express how great full l am, and I hope that you all continue the good work and are able to help others as much as you have helped me." Feedback from one of our supported tenants

Develop work with partners in Edinburgh to run our inclusive and f ree football camps. Look at reducing accommodation costs by turning the ex-maintenance van in Scotland into a carnper that can be used when visiting properties and running projects where over night stays are required. Develop Wellbeing Hubs in the already successf ul Creative Hubs in Scotland. Uthinl we are just People Developing People.
