Helping young people of school age in Glasgow's​ West End to explore and experience the Christian faith
Who we are
The Wheel Trust has been working in schools and churches in the West End of Glasgow since 2006. We aim to encourage young people to consider big issues and the relevance of the Christian faith, and to support their mental, social, physical, spiritual and intellectual development.
The Trust is run by Trustees and a Management committee. These people come from West End churches, some of which also support our work financially alongside individual donors and charitable trusts.
We currently employ two youth workers who work alongside our volunteers to run events and support existing projects and a part-time administrator who supports the team.
The Wheel Trust is a member of SU Scotland's Associate Worker Scheme

Jonny has nearly 20 years’ experience volunteering as a youth worker and, in late 2024, made the decision to move from teaching into the role as employment.
Over the past three years, Jonny has been running Christian youth groups and youth camps, and he hopes to bring this mix of experience into schools across the west of Glasgow.
Jonny is a member of the Church of God in Glasgow, and in his free time he enjoys running, playing squash, and continuing to be involved in his church activities and youth events.
Caitlin is currently a theology student at Glasgow University who has been volunteering with the Wheel Trust in Hillhead High since 2024. She is undertaking an internship with us alongside her studies.
Caitlin calls Inverness home, and has been involved in SU Scotland activities and camps since she was child. She has also volunteered extensively with SU over the last few years, following on from being a pupil leader at her High School SU Group.
Debs has worked as an administrator and fundraiser for other Christian charities before and enjoys getting everyone organised and colour-coded!
Debs and her husband live in the East End of Glasgow with their 3 girls aged 2-11 so she doesn't have a huge amount of spare time, but when she finds some she likes to run and enjoys eating cake and drinking tea with friends! Debs worships at Parkhead Nazarene Church with her family and is involved in children's ministry.
