A Scottish charity has made the New Olympia House in Glasgow's East End its new headquarters. 

Scripture Union (SU) Scotland has leased the Clyde Gateway building just weeks after refurbishment works have been completed.

Glasgow Times:

New Olympia House will provide SU Scotland with its own front door and flexible accommodation with space for offices, meetings and local events.

An option for SU Scotland to purchase the building has also been agreed upon, providing initial occupational flexibility and the ability for SU Scotland to secure their long-term presence.

The relocation is part of the organisation's strategy to work more closely with local schools and communities in the city.

Robin MacLellan, CEO of Scripture Union Scotland, said: “We are delighted to become the newest tenant of Bridgeton’s historic and increasingly thriving civic community.

"This beautifully refurbished building is ideally positioned with strong transport links and we hope our presence can add real value to the life of the local community in Bridgeton as well as provide a high-quality base for our work with children and families across Scotland."

Glasgow Times:

Martin McKay, chief executive of Clyde Gateway, added: “This is an exciting letting of a well-known building which has been carefully restored to secure its future and to play its part within Bridgeton’s Civic Hub.

"There is a real buzz in the area at the moment and the timing of this new and important letting comes as the refurbishment of the famous Bridgeton Umbrella nears completion."
