Hometime Scotland
Partners
We're grateful for the support of:
Schuh is pleased to support Hometime Scotland and look forward to putting housing back at the top of the political agenda.
Schuh has always been proud to call Scotland home ever since the first Schuh store opened on Edinburgh's North Bridge in 1981. Today, Schuh is the UK's no.1 branded footwear retailer with over 50 stores across the UK and Ireland and online at www.schuh.co.uk where you'll find over 100 brands in stock, perfect for anyone who puts their feet first.
Young people come through our shop doors everyday so being able to help Shelter sign up young Scots to support their campaign made perfect sense.
Song that reminds Schuh of home:
Adam Ant: Goody Two Shoes - for obvious reasons and the fact it was released at the same time that Schuh first opened its doors.
CPL is proud to support the Hometime Scotland campaign. Through our bars and clubs across Glasgow city centre, we have a direct link to young people and feel that we will be able to significantly help raise awareness for this fantastic campaign.
Song that reminds them of home:
At the Garage (nightclub in Glasgow): The Undertones, Teenage Kicks - because it's a firm favourite on the Garage dancefloor which has been played since the club opened its doors nearly 15 years ago!
Staunch is delighted to be involved with Shelter and their new Hometime Scotland campaign which brings together fashion and music to raise awareness of the issue of homelessness among young Scots.
The campaign t-shirt required a design that's instantly recognisable as well as symbolising unity and a common purpose, and our Scottish map is a perfect match.
Our iconic t-shirt reflects the campaign and housing in a young and fresh way. We were keen to avoid many of the cliched national symbols like Nessie, thistles, haggis and stags so we came up with a new stylish way of reflecting our Scottish roots. And so the map design - and a brand new range of funky Scottish designed t-shirts - was born!
The Skinny, Scotland's cutting edge culture magazine, is committed to supporting emerging artists from all fields and promoting positive cultural activity in Scotland. A large part of our aim is to provide a platform for unknown and emerging talent to get a voice in the media, from our volunteer writers and photographers being published for the first time, to the artists themselves receiving much needed publicity.
The Skinny has chosen to get involved with Shelter's Hometime Scotland campaign as we believe that homelessness in Scotland is a cause for concern for all ages, and want to make the most out of our wide reach across the country to encourage more engagement on the issues. We want to be part of raising the profile of individuals who are left without a place to express themselves by giving them the opportunity to speak freely to the public about their circumstances and point of view.
You can find out more at www.theskinny.co.uk, where full listings of upcoming events and previews of the bands will be available too.
The Skinny is available in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, St. Andrews and Perth at nearly 900 venues.
Song that reminds them of home:
Rupert Thomson, Editor, The Skinny: Going Home from the Local Hero soundtrack. I remember listening to it in the kitchen when a kid, and my wee bro aged about five pretending to play a cucumber saxophone.
Sophie Kyle, Publisher, The Skinny: There's an Irish folk song that goes:
When I was walking over...
The Cork and Kerry mountains
I met a travelling man and his money he was counting
At first I pulled my pistol and then a la la la la
Aaaaannnnd A JUG OF PUNCH!
tiraliralooo trialiraluuu tirairraloo
My dad used to sing this in the shower very loudly every morning when we lived in Norway, not so much these days. It's a silly song but It reminds him and me of home.
Dave Kerr, Music Editor, The Skinny: Navigator by the Pogues, my dad would play it in the car on the trip home from holidays in the Highlands and give the road map to me or one of my brothers (all of us aged between around four and 12 at the time), then pretend he was lost for about an hour. Pretty terrifying really.
