Our Community
Over the past 25 years, Braehead has been dedicated to supporting our community and community partners.
Each year our customers, our staff and our retailers raise thousands of pounds for worthy causes. Our staff give up hundreds of hours to support local groups and lend their expertise to those who need it.
We also offer our community partners free space within the centre to promote the great work that they do.
We are very proud of our ongoing partnership with Alzheimer Scotland and of being a dementia-friendly shopping centre.
We also work with lots of other charities throughout the year including Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, the Beatson Cancer Charity, Maggie’s, Young Enterprise Scotland and the Renfrewshire Toybank.
What our stores are doing
Our stores are committed to sustainability and have a whole host of initiatives, including recycling boxes and money off when you recycle in-store.
