Sainsbury's East Kilbride

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.

The identification and combating of all forms of poverty and sickness, without differentiation on the grounds of race, colour, creed or sex, by promoting social justice and actively working with those in need and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, to bring spiritual and/or material comfort to people in conditions of need, hardship or distress.

We are a network of local churches aiming to help individuals and families who are facing financial difficulty. Food packages are given out freely without question or judgement. Giving out emergency food is essential but, for us, it is just the start of what we do. We provide bags of food for as long as someone needs help while we seek to support them in improving their situation and seeing them lift themselves out of poverty. Our cafes provide community for our clients and additional support. We offer debt advice and money courses. We run a hugely successful job club supporting people back into work and provide the unemployed with digital access and support for their job searching.
