'I believe Jonathan's good nature, enthusiasm, and excellent organisational skills have enabled various activities to progress as they have included significant upgrading of Athole Lane. He has supported the development of a team of residents who through regular commitment and physical effort have completed the works required to improve the lane. He has worked effectively with colleagues from other local voluntary groups and local agencies for the benefit of the wider community. I would say Jonathan is a genuine, kind person who has shown reliability and trustworthiness in all his activities.'

Councillor Martha Wardrop,
Hillhead - Ward 11, Glasgow City Council,

'I have known Jonathan for many years and would not hesitate to recommend his services. He takes pride in his work and is efficient and enthusiastic and conscientious in whatever task he undertakes.'

Stella Watson,
Retired local resident

'Jonathan has been scrupulous with our financial paperwork, and organised in making arrangements for our clean up weekends, the drafting of minutes, communications with stakeholders etc.
On the ground he has worked tirelessly in taking the lead in cleaning up our Victorian Lane, including putting in hard physical effort such as scraping away and barrowing soil out of the lane and moving gravel to fill potholes.
We are fully expecting to find Helpinhand’s services of assistance to us, e.g. when we go on holiday, and to smarten up our back garden.'

Peter Gotch,
Chair of Athole Lane Improvement Society

I have known Jonathan for many years and have worked with him regarding the Athole Lane Improvement Society. He is an eminently trustworthy person and has made a major contribution to the local community.
