About Us
Manorview Foundation is a registered Scottish charity (SC051772) established in 2023.
Our aim is simple – we exist to make life better for people who are living in poverty. Through warm spaces, tasty meals and happy experiences we bring comfort and joy to the people who are struggling to make ends meet every day.
Our story
Our organisation was originally founded by Scottish hospitality group Manorview. Having fundraised hundreds of thousands of pounds for various worthy charities, the leadership team there wanted to focus in on one cause, with a view to making a bigger impact.
Every day Manorview welcome guests to their hotels and restaurants. Hospitality is a fantastic industry that brings joy to many. But it’s also not accessible to everyone. Some people can’t afford to put food on the table, let alone enjoy a special event or meal out. And the team there decided something had to be done about that. The idea for Manorview Foundation was then born.
Manorview Foundation is now a separate entity to Manorview Hotels and has since become a registered charity, but we’ve kept the name to honour our story. We’re proud that the hotel group support us with expertise, property, facilities, volunteering and donations, so that the fundraising we do can be focused on supporting the people we help.
Our first community hub
In 2023, we launched our very first community hub in Coatbridge. Coatbridge is one of Scotland’s most deprived areas, and The Hub allows us to reach adults and young people in need – offering a warm, safe space and tasty meals.

“One young man who is just 20 told me he was so grateful for his meal, because he wasn’t sure where his next would come from. In this day and age it’s so sad that people don’t know when they’ll next eat. We are committed to helping.”
