The charity's objective is to advance the christian religion. We seek to support everyone in need and the people in our community Govan in Glasgow. Govan is one of the poorest areas in Glasgow. Many resident are unemployed or have health challenges. We aim to support these people to enable them meet their daily needs and life goals . We operate from 9 Skipness Drive Govan Glasgow, from 10am to 1pm every Sunday We are a registered charity S041558 Aside from providing food to support residents of the community we provide musical skill acquisition training and programmes and also provide spiritual support to families in the community. Photos and videos of our community work is shown below We identify users either through referral or interview when they come in services are provided as required by the individual All services are offered free. We get donations from other church and members which we use and pending on the work we do at the moment and we will like to get supplies directly as our sister churches donate to us when they have leftovers and if they don’t have that means we don’t get anything or supplies to help the people . Our Facebook link has been uploaded below We are limited to the number of people we can support due to low access of donations we receive from people and sister churches .

From July 2020, a team of volunteers from St Andrews RC Bearsden uplifts surplus 7 days a week and delivers to ST Gregorys Wyndford food bank and Aspire which helps people get back on their feet. Historical info below. 1051GWR is a b/restaurant which ceased trading like all others on the 22nd of March 2020. On the 23rd we opened up as a takeaway. Our first customers were NHS staff from Gartnavel hospital whose canteens had been shut down. We could not charge them so gave them free soup and pizza and pasta. In addition to the 500meals given away daily to frontline workers we supply a further 500 to the elderly vulnerable and homeless. We now know every day where and when we are going to be delivering food so becoming a member of Neighbourly at this point seems appropriate and useful. We use volunteers from St Andrew's RC Bearsden who normally visit homeless shelters. Since March 2020 we have been delivering hot and cold food to 6/7 homeless/ vulnerable organisations. As at July 2020, we deliver supermarket surplus to the Wayside Club Glasgow city centre where homeless people can pick up food and St Gregorys food bank giving free food to needy families and individuals.

At Knightswood Secondary School we run a free breakfast club for 100 + young people every morning with staff volunteering an hour of their time from 8am. We also run a stall with free snacks at interval and lunchtime which feeds 300+ pupils. Many of our young people and their families are living in food poverty. Any donations of food, clothes, toys etc will be put to good use Can you help us with free donations?
