ALDI EAST KILBRIDE - QUEENSWAY

Our school is a Roman Catholic Secondary School for children and young people from 11 – 18. In Saint Paul’s we aim to nurture your child to become the fully rounded individual they have the potential to be. At the heart of our Ethos are the Gospel Values of love, joy, peace and truth and as a school community we strive to live these values in everything that we do. Our aim is to prepare our children and young people for their future: academically, spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. The uniqueness of every young person is celebrated in Saint Paul’s R.C. High; our curriculum offers a rich and engaging range of activities that meet all the different learning styles and interests. We teach the importance of respect for each other, the value of difference and the skills of working together. As a school we recognise the importance of a strong partnership with parents and carers. We enjoy strong relationships with our parents and we are always working to develop this further.

We offer a number of wellbeing services, such as free therapy, information and support to anyone affected by childhood trauma or abuse, and those affected by cancer. With these wellbeing aims in mind we have also established our Share Alike project. This is open to all in our community for free, supporting anyone in need by offering a community wardrobe, community fridge, free brunch club and a food bank. Within and outside our normal office hours we also help in emergencies for local families directly and via referrals from different types of organisations, such as women's aid. We give families immediate assistance with free food and clothing, and help via our donations to help them reestablish a home after fleeing or losing theirs. All our staff are volunteers and offer some classes and services to the general public for a small donation. This means we both keep SAVI Kids open for those who need help after childhood trama and abuse, while making alternative health/support services more accessible to all.

Potter's House Prayer Ministry is a Christian organisation serving local communities in Glasgow and is located at 79, West Street, Opposite Bonny Pack Wholesalers, G5 8BA. We hold weekly Sunday meetings at 11 a.m. Our main purpose is to reach the broken and downtrodden in the community through our various programmes such as counselling, prayer & employment support as well as signposting to other local services as required. We are now embarking on opening a community fridge in light of the new cost of living crisis. People are struggling to pay for basic necessities such as food and heating. Potters House want to provide a solution and aim to be a refuge for people to be able to access food & support in these tough times. Our aim is to have a community fridge & pantry for people to access food in a dignified manner. We also aim to provide warm winter clothing and toys for families who are struggling to keep warm this winter. The days for the community fridge are tbc. We will also be serving items such as soup, roll and tea / coffee / cake on Sunday mornings, in addition to grocery items such as tinned foods, and other non-perishable items and providing a space to connect with members of the community.
