Verified resources received

Southwest Arts And Music Project

Glasgow, UK

We have been actively running a Pantry based in Greater Pollok with over 1000 member to date. The Pantry is struggling to keep up with the demand and could do with any help it can get. It means families can access food in a dignified manner as they get to choose the items that they actually want instead of getting food that is no use.

Cosgrove Care

Glasgow, UK

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.

The Everlasting Foodbank and Freedom Cafe

Glasgow, UK

We run two projects under the banner of The Everlasting Foodbank. Our foodbank is for people to receive emergency food in times of crisis or need. We also give people clothing, toiletries and a friendly face to chat with. Alongside food we encourage people to sit with us and chat over some coffee/tea and buiscuits. Sometimes we find that we can be the only people that someone talks to that day. We have been well supported by the local community who find us to be reassuringly approachable. Up to today we have fed over 1600 people after opening for just about 4 years. The hope and aim is to be able to be a resource for the community and help people with their immediate need but also help them to recover from their current crisis situation. We have recently launched a community cafe. This helps people in need (those who would qualify to use the foodbank) with free hot food made by our team of volunteer chefs. There is encouragement of socialising between cafe users and similar to the foodbank we have people who will sit and talk with users. The cafe provides job experience for those who use the foodbank by letting them volunteer in the cafe itself. This greatly helps to move people from reliance on foodbanks to get back into work. Alongside the cafe we also provide a one-to-one drop-in centre for help and signposting.
