Sainsbury's Glasgow Great Western Road Local

The Pyramid is owned and run by the local community via The Pyramid at Anderston Trust. The Trust is working to renovate and redevelop this B listed local icon, which is home to a myriad of activities and support. Our central purposes are: to prevent and relieve poverty; to advance citizenship and community development; to advance the arts, heritage and culture; to provide recreational facilities and organise recreational activities for members of the public in order to reduce isolation and to improve well-being and confidence; and to bring together people from different backgrounds. Activities are primarily intended for people who have need of them by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage; and for members of the public. We are home to a wide range of regular clubs, including yoga, Knit and Natter, community meals, wellbeing sessions, martial arts, personal training, community cinema, chess and more, and we offer spaces for the local community to meet, run activities and events and hold celebrations. We are fundraising for a multi million pound redevelopment of the building and surrounding site to ensure that we continue to serve and support our community.

The People’s Pantry is a membership-led shop providing access to affordable, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food, as well as household essentials. Anyone who lives in the G41/G42 postcode areas can become a Pantry member for £6 a year. After joining, members can shop weekly for £4 and fill their baskets with purchases up to the value of £30.

Here at Shakespeare Street Youth Club, we value the importance of teaching young people key life skills to help them in the future, even after they are no longer attending. Cooking, food hygiene, safety and storage are a few areas which we cover in our weekly Cooking Group. Our group is available to anyone between the ages of 8-14 who wishes to learn basic cooking skills and practice staple recipes they can then make at home. The young people then sit down round a table and enjoy the food they have made and write down the recipe which will go into a fundraising cookbook made by themselves. We mostly focus on healthy recipes and encourage everyone to try new things (especially if they think they don't like them!). At the end of each intake, we take the group out for a meal where they can be cooked for, instead being the cook themselves! At the moment, we have an extensive waiting list for our cooking group. This means every school term we take in 10 new members in place of the previous group and keep on 2 as youth helpers.
