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 employ two part-time, highly qualified and motivated Youth Team Co-ordinators, who get alongside our volunteers to run events and support existing projects.
The Wheel Trust is a member of SU Scotland's Asscociate Worker Scheme
