The Manorview Foundation
Making life better for people in poverty
Hospitality with Heart
As Manorview's goal is to make life better through hospitality, everyone in the business is encouraged to support our official charity, the Manorview Foundation.
The organisation was intially set up by Manorview Hotels because we're saddened that today, 1 in 5 people live in poverty in Scotland. Everyday hundreds of hotel, restaurant and event guests come enjoy life in our hotels, and yet many others are struggling to keep a roof over their head and food on the table. So, we knew we needED to help.

About Manorview Foundation
The Manorview Foundation was established to bring care, comfort and happiness that hospitality offers to those who are affected by poverty. It's a registered charity (SC051772) supporting hundreds of people in Scotland.
The charity helps people through support, warm places, tasty meals and happy experiences.
You can find out more on their website.
The Hub
In October 2023, The Hub in Coatbridge first opened its doors for the community of Coatbridge and beyond.
Manorview Foundation was seeking a place to welcome people and offer them a warm, safe space and hot meals. Property and maintenance costs are high, making it difficult for charities and social organisations to have a physical space to help people. So, to ensure that the charity could use funds raised to help people in need, we offered space in our existing property in Coatbridge.
Since then, The Hub has welcomed hundreds of children and adults. There have been Christmas parties, game nights, coffee mornings and more.
The charity's achievements
Manorview Foundation is a charity still in its infancy, yet it has already helped hundreds of people experiencing poverty in Scotland.
Over 3000 children have enjoyed a Christmas party with a meal, dancing, gifts and a visit from Santa.
Over 1000 meals have been prepared and distributed to the homeless.
Hundreds of people have enjoyed a relaxing time and meal at The Hub in Coatbridge.
How we help the charity
Although Manorview Foundation is a separate entity, everyone at Manorview Hotels is actively encouraged to support the work of the charity.
We pay everyone in our team one shift a year to go and volunteer or fundraise for the charity. That's over 500 days of volunteering.
Hosting Events
We offer space in Manorview venues so that the charity can host events to support those who need it. Since launch, Manorview Foundation has welcomed over 3000 children to free Christmas parties where they got a tasty meal, fun party with games and a visit from Santa with a gift.
Volunteering
The Manorview team volunteer their time and expertise to the charity to support various initiatives. This includes volunteering at The Hub, or serving hot cooked meals to the homeless in Glasgow.
Fundraising & Donating
Our team are encouraged to raise funds through events like marathons and Kilt Walk or via their own fundraising initiatives like Five A Side Football or Quiz Nights. The team also helps by donating gifts and goods like toys, easter eggs or selection boxes so that charity money can be used elsewhere.
Working With Our Partners
We enlist the help of our partners and suppliers, who support the charity in a number of ways. Some volunteer time and expertise, others donate goods, products or funds. Together we can make a real difference - and giving Manorview Foundation access to our partners can help practically and financially.
“We know how to develop properties, operate hospitality venues, cook meals, host guests and run events. So we want to use these skills and resources to make a difference to those affected by poverty.”
