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.

230,000 babies, children and young people are treated at the hospital every year. Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity sits firmly at the heart of the hospital, raising money to ensure that our young patients and their families receive the best possible care. With your support, we can fund: Enhanced medical equipment to help our doctors, nurses and surgeons treat our children; Innovative play programmes that help to distract, teach and treat children during their stay; Family support services that care for parents, families and carers during difficult times; Ground-breaking paediatric research to help future generations of Scotland's children.
