By Charities Editor

THE CEO of a leading UK firm based in Worle, Somerset near Bristol has joined the trustee board of a charity that runs a homeless centre.

Somewhere To Go, based in Weston-Super Mare, Somerset announced that Andrew Scott, CEO of The Ascot Group, is now part of the charity’s trustee board.

Somewhere To Go has run a homeless and vulnerable day centre since 1999, but over the years has hugely broadened the scope of its work to include breakfast and dinner provision, on-site nurses, social activities, showers and welfare provision, housing referrals, drug and alcohol support and general support work.

The Ascot Group, a marketing and technology group based near Worle Train Station, has been a steadfast supporter of the charity for a couple of years and is now stepping up its efforts even further.

Dan Heley, chair of the trustee board at the charity said: “We have received support from The Ascot Group in many forms over recent months including volunteers and donations which have been a huge help to the organisation.

“With Andrew joining the board he will bring with him a wealth of knowledge and experience that will enable the charity to continue to grow and develop, and I look forward to working with him and other trustees to take Somewhere To Go on to the next chapter in its journey of supporting Weston’s most vulnerable.”

“We’ve never lost sight of that and I’m proud to participate in a charity that supports vulnerable people in our town.”
