A Note of thanks
After several beautiful years of bringing baskets of love and kindness to families across Glasgow, the Glasgow Basket Brigade is now entering a pause. While we are no longer operating as a registered Community Interest Company, the spirit of this initiative lives on.
We're keeping the website open for now in the hope that someone from our wider community may feel called to carry the vision forward. If you're interested in taking the reins or exploring what that might look like, we'd love to hear from you.
This project has always been 100% powered by love, generosity, and community spirit. Thank you for every single registration, packed basket, kind word, and moments of magic you've helped to create.
We can still be contacted at glasgow@glasgowbasketbrigade.org.uk
With love and gratitude,
The Glasgow Basket Brigade Team 🎅❤️
christmas basket appeal
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking part in our appeal.
Our campaign is now closed.
“One small act of generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives of hundreds. It takes only one light to dispel the darkness, and even just one basket can bring hope to a family.”
- Tony Robbins
our story
The Glasgow Basket Brigade is a female-led initiative who are fully inspired to bringing the magic of Christmas alive through connection, contribution and giving back to our community.
The idea of a Basket Brigade originally began in the US nearly 40 years ago when Tony Robbins, aged just 17, fed two families on Thanksgiving Day. His idea was simple, yet powerful: “One small act of generosity on the part of one caring person can transform the lives of hundreds” and this is at the heart of our local mission.
Inspired by the Yes Group and their “London Basket Brigade”, we knew we wanted to make a similar impact here in Glasgow, and so last Christmas the Glasgow Basket Brigade was born.
Both our Glasgow Basket Brigade and the London Basket Brigade are both part of the Tony Robbins Foundation which has chapters worldwide.
