Direct peers

• FareShare: UK charity redistributing surplus food to a network of community organisations, including frontline charities running foodbanks and pop-up food services. Comparable food-redistribution supply chain into Halliday's foodbank and pop-up shop programmes.
• Fresh Start (Scotland): Scottish charity that collects donated furniture and household goods and delivers them to people moving into new tenancies. Highly comparable to The Halliday Foundation's Houses2Homes programme, with similar referral partnerships with social landlords.
• Bethany Christian Trust: Edinburgh-based Christian charity providing shelter, housing and community support for people experiencing homelessness and poverty in Scotland. Closely comparable mission and operating geography to The Halliday Foundation's East End of Glasgow community work.
• Social Bite: Scotland-based social enterprise and charity addressing homelessness through employment, housing and food programmes. Comparable beneficiary cohort and Scottish operating footprint.
• Glasgow City Mission: Glasgow-based charity delivering front-line services to people affected by poverty, homelessness and addiction in the city. Comparable beneficiary profile, city geography and community-led delivery approach.
• Cyrenians: Scottish charity tackling the causes and consequences of homelessness through housing, social enterprise and community programmes. Comparable wraparound service design and Scottish operating base.

Broad incumbents

• The Trussell Trust: UK-wide charity operating the largest network of foodbanks. Comparable only at the foodbank programme level, but operates at vastly greater national scale than The Halliday Foundation.
• The Big Issue Foundation: Charitable arm of The Big Issue supporting vendors and tackling poverty and homelessness across the UK. Comparable beneficiary cohort and UK-wide poverty focus, though operating at much larger scale.
• Shelter Scotland: National campaigning and advice charity for people affected by homelessness and bad housing. Overlaps with the housing/homelessness remit of The Halliday Foundation but operates as a much larger advocacy and advice organisation.

Regional players

• The Larder West Lothian: West Lothian-based community food and support charity providing foodbank, training and employability services. Comparable community-charity service mix and Scottish operating geography, but serving a different region.
