B&Q Darnley

Tarbolton food Larder strives to reduce food waste and food poverty by using surplus food to give cooking demonstrations, distribute and give handy tip and recipes to the local community to ensure not a scrap goes to waste. In this current climate it has become apparent that more and more families need access to food for their families. We want to take the stigma off charity for families that don’t want to ask by engaging in our local communities providing a warm friendly service. We already run a charity for children and run many drop in cafe days for people to come and get a free meal. We have a charity van for transport, we have 2 large fridges and 2 large chest freezers for storage We operate from Annbank Community hall where we run lots of community events. We advertise when we are going to be there and have private messages from families in need. Most families contact through the NBCC charity. Our Night before Christmas campaign has been in the press on tv and a motion has just recently been passed through Scottish Parliament recognising our work with children and families. We have partnered up with Ayrshire food hub who provide frozen meals on a Tuesday they are also providing a new freezer. I have emailed Lauren. We have also worked with the Kincaidston food hub and the Ukrainian support. We are also working in conjunction with the three sixty club which is a mental health charity who are going to be running a cafe. https://www.facebook.com/ThreeSixtyAyrshire ALLAN DORANS MP CONGRATULATES ... - Ayrshire Daily News facebook.com hLRJ1GG_y0J.ico

Hollybrook Academy is an Additional Support Needs Secondary School in Govanhill, Glasgow. We want our students to develop self-confidence and to become responsible and caring global citizens. They are amazing! We strive to reduce inequality, celebrate diversity and raise achievement and therefore, our students need to gain employability skills. However, it is very difficult for students to transfer those skills into the world of work for the lack of work experience opportunities, particularly after the pandemic. We established a partnership with a local church where students will prepare, cook and serve healthy and tasty meals for local residents who may benefit from having an opportunity for a friendly social interaction and a hot meal. Students will gain real work experience, with social purpose, in a nurturing and safe environment. We need surplus of food and catering resources for the success of our Very Special Café. About The Hollybrook Fund: The Hollybrook School Fund was constituted to advance the education provided by the school and to spend funds raised to obtain the provision of additional educational resources, and to finance extra-curricular activities which cannot be completely financed from public funds allocated to the school by Glasgow City Council in disposition of its statutory responsibility.

Crookston Early Years support children and families ranging from 0-5 years old. We are looking for food surplus to support families in providing children with a healthy and varied diet. We are also looking for resource donations to develop nursery environments and provide children with broad and a variety of learning experiences. Both resources could be used to create a home link with families to increase parental engagement.
