Vue Charity Morning 2025

40 young people supported by local charity Young Movers (YoMo) were given the VIP treatment this week, enjoying a blockbuster day of summer fun at Glasgow Fort.

The special outing saw the group, aged 5-12 , watch a private screening of hit film Smurfs at Vue Cinema before heading to Glasgow Fort’s mini fairground, with the centre treating them to a day of summer fun – from bouncing around on the trampolines and getting competitive on the bumper cars to riding the classic carousel.

Organised as part of Glasgow Fort’s long-standing partnership with YoMo, the visit offered a welcome chance for the children to relax, have fun and connect with friends.

YoMo – which works across North East and North West Glasgow – supports hundreds of disadvantaged children and young people every week through youth-led projects focused on empowerment, community connection and overcoming social and economic challenges.

Phil Goodman, centre director at Glasgow Fort, said: “It’s always a privilege to welcome YoMo and the young people they support to the centre, seeing firsthand the joy that a great day out making memories can bring!

“Supporting local charities like YoMo is incredibly important to us, we know how meaningful a day like today will be for the children and their families, and we’re proud to continue to play a meaningful part in supporting young people throughout Glasgow and beyond.”

Caitlin Kerr, Project Coordinator at YoMo, added: “Days like this mean so much to the children and to us. It’s about more than just a treat. Having opportunities like this to spend time together in a fun and relaxed setting helps build confidence and friendships. We really appreciate Glasgow Fort’s continued support.”
