Be There When It Matters Most

For 60 years, Murray’s Initiative has been a lifeline for people across Glasgow and the surrounding area facing the devastating impact of alcohol, drugs and trauma.

Every single day, our Counsellors, Support Workers and Volunteers provide hope, healing and human connection — but we can not do it without you.

As a charity, we rely on people like you to keep our services going. Here is how your support can change lives:

A Supportive Start

Give someone in crisis a wellbeing welcome pack — with mental health resources, support information and a personal journal to help them start their recovery journey with dignity and care.

The wording £10 within a thin circle, the icon is the Aragon green colour.

A Listening Ear

Fund a one-hour counselling session for someone affected by alcohol-related harm. Your gift gives them a safe, confidential space to talk, heal and begin to hope again.

The words £35 inside a thin circle, the icon is the Raspberry pink.

Essential Support

Give someone in crisis the essential support they need to begin their recovery journey with dignity and care — from mental health resources, guidance and a personal journal for reflection, to critical stability and safety assistance such as emergency phone credit, a safe ride home or to a refuge, replacement of lost essentials and immediate, tailored safety information to help them regain control in a vulnerable moment.

The words £50 inside a thin circle, the icon is the Astral blue.

Confidence Beyond the Counselling Room

Support a full-day therapeutic outing — like a nature walk, creative workshop or cultural visit — helping someone rebuild trust, confidence and connection.

The words £100 inside a thin circle, the icon is the Midnight blue.

Healing for the Whole Family

Fund a full programme of group sessions for loved ones affected by someone else’s alcohol or drug use offering structured, compassionate support that empowers them to move forward. Because recovery is a family journey — and no one should face it alone.

The words £500 inside a thin circle, the icon is the Grenadier Orange.

Lived Experience, Lasting Impact

Help someone who’s walked their own lived experience begin the journey train to become a Counsellor. Your gift turns personal transformation into a powerful force for good — helping others heal, too.

The words £1000 inside a thin circle, the icon is the Lilac purple.
