Adult services provide support for 51 people. This support varies according to individual need and requests. Some supports are in housing and others are community based. Both supports are to allow people to live as independent lives as possible, achieve their potential, and fully participate in their community. Adult services also provide groups support at which anyone can attend. We run Yoga, Computing, Art, Creative Writing, Drama, and Health and Fitness at our base in May Terrace. Every person has an individual support plan. Within these are each individual’s personal details and a timetable specific to their weekly activities. Activities can vary from horse-riding, to support with college. Supports range from 4 hours to 40 hrs per week. Adult services are dynamic, evolving and centred on the people we support. Workers need to be flexible to deal with the daily life choices of the people supported.

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.
