Providing For People In Paisley

Providing for People in Paisley has it's roots firmly in the Scottish town of Paisley and stems from Victorian times when a number of local 'buddies' set up a fund aimed at assisting those in need . Over the years the fund grew. However, it became increasingly difficult, within the Association's Rules, to find genuine cases who would accept grant assistance. In 2003 the Committee reviewed the aims and objectives to broaden the rules of the Association to better reflect the needs of today's society. Since that point the committee have worked hard to build a network to distribute the funds available to individuals through locally-based organisations which include, Accord Hospice, Renfrewshire Association for Mental Health, the Renfrewshire Education Trust and the Star Project. Currently the committee consists of five members and three officers all with local connections. It's Chairman, James Lang, is a director of Scottish Leather Group Ltd which has a base in the town. He is also the third generation of his family to serve as President. Vice Chairman is Hugh Gilmour, retired Managing Director of WJ & W Lang Ltd, Tanners and one of the oldest manufacturing businesses in Paisley. Legal, Secretarial and Treasury services are provided by Graham Murray of Wright Johnston & Mackenzie LLP.
