EWfC's vision is to see Scotland as an inclusive and equal place where all women are cherished, empowered and are credited as active citizens. In realising the support gaps and unique needs of diverse women and their families, EWfC provides opportunities for essentials to support BME families, education, awareness creation of rights and skills development.

We run a soup kitchen on the pavement of Glasgow City Centre. We've been involved in this project for 5 years and run every Thursday and 2 of 6 Sundays. We collect surplus food from M&S Bothwell St at the close of business. Using this food, we help around 40 - 70 people of an evening. All food donated is distributed to our homeless client group alongside our own flasks of soup, tea and coffee and sandwiches, fruit, crisps and biscuits. Anything left over when we are packing up is taken to a homeless hostel. We have started a new venture on a Wednesday night when as a group of 9 (varying volunteers each week) we send three teams of 3 round different routes in the city centre & west end. We find/locate those people spending the evening or night on the pavement and provide them with some sustenance, some personal assistance and some support.
