We run two projects under the banner of The Everlasting Foodbank. Our foodbank is for people to receive emergency food in times of crisis or need. We also give people clothing, toiletries and a friendly face to chat with. Alongside food we encourage people to sit with us and chat over some coffee/tea and buiscuits. Sometimes we find that we can be the only people that someone talks to that day. We have been well supported by the local community who find us to be reassuringly approachable. Up to today we have fed over 1600 people after opening for just about 4 years. The hope and aim is to be able to be a resource for the community and help people with their immediate need but also help them to recover from their current crisis situation. We have recently launched a community cafe. This helps people in need (those who would qualify to use the foodbank) with free hot food made by our team of volunteer chefs. There is encouragement of socialising between cafe users and similar to the foodbank we have people who will sit and talk with users. The cafe provides job experience for those who use the foodbank by letting them volunteer in the cafe itself. This greatly helps to move people from reliance on foodbanks to get back into work. Alongside the cafe we also provide a one-to-one drop-in centre for help and signposting.

Beatson Cancer Charity exists to enhance the experience, treatment, outcomes and well-being of current and former cancer patients and their families or carers. We achieve this by delivering non-clinical services and funding enhancements in cancer treatment, care and research in partnership with the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. Significant funding provides additional patient and family resources and facilities, innovative service developments and enhanced medical equipment. Our funding provides extra staff resources including clinical nurse specialists and radiography and research staff as well as innovative and ground-breaking research. Our experienced team offers a range of non-clinical services to help relax patients and provide relief from pain, insomnia, nausea, phobia and anxiety. These complementary services are delivered in the wards, departments or in the Beatson Cancer Charity Wellbeing Centre, a unique haven with wonderful views where patients can unwind alone or with fellow patients. Services and facilities include reiki, reflexology, massage, beauty therapies, a hair salon, a cinema and a soft drinks and juice bar. At the heart of Beatson Cancer Charity is our commitment to fighting cancer on all fronts. That's why we support a full range of resources from research and treatment to management and care. By doing so we can make a significant contribution to the battle against cancer - and help improve the lives of patients, former patients and their families. We are also committed to building and supporting The Beatson's reputation as an internationally renowned cancer centre. We believe that by attracting the best staff and developing pioneering techniques and treatments, we will contribute to changing the face of cancer treatment on a local, national and international scale. We are positive, we are full of hope and we are ready to fight cancer.
