M&S Port Glasgow

We are offering free homemade soup and a filled roll on Friday lunchtimes to anyone in the Belville Street area. A warm welcome and good banter is guaranteed. We have a range of vegetarian and non vegetarian soup and filled roll options. Tea and coffee also provided. We are particularly interested in anyone who is elderly, has a carer or feels in any way socially isolated. We can provide transport if notified in advance. We hope to use unwanted vegetables and fruit from shops and individual donations to make our homemade soup and jam.

We are the parent council of a medium sized primary school. We fundraise in order to supply the school with much needed items to enable them to educate, nurture and support children effectively. We work with the school to reach our goals of fostering engagement with parents, carers and families to provide meaningful opportunities to play and learn together. Our aim is to help build beautiful, functional spaces both indoors and outdoors creating multi-use learning environments to inspire creativity and confidence-building. These areas will be used by all age groups at our school and will contribute meaningfully to wellbeing, social skills, and educational development.

We aim to alleviate food poverty for the most vulnerable people in our community. We provide emergency food aid parcels to families with children and pensioners. We do this through both organisational and self referal services to ensure that those in most need receive the emergency assistance they require. This is facilitated in a friendly non-judgemental and helpful manner. We offer a weekly free soup and sandwich session which helps with social isolation and food insecurity alongside fostering a sense of community belonging. We also help with free lunch bags for local school children through any school holidays and a yearly Christmas Toy Bank.
