Aberdeen Cyrenians

Aberdeen, UK

2018 marks Aberdeen Cyrenians 50th year, meeting the needs of people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or affected by homelessness. What started off as a simple soup kitchen now provides a range of support services to over 1,500 people each year. While providing advice, support and information to address root causes and help people to sustain more permanent accommodation, we also ensure that their basic needs are met. We do this in a number of ways which includes providing food parcels and our Street Alternatives service which provides hot meals four times a week. Both of these services rely on donations from individiuals and organisations for fresh and long-life produce. Almost all of the food we have is donated and we simply could not provide the services without support from the local community.

Instant Neighbour Aberdeen

Aberdeen, UK

Instant Neighbour has been supporting people in Aberdeen City and Shire for the last 40 years. We support people on low incomes to set up home, by providing access to low-cost reuse furniture, white goods, clothing and bric a brac. As well as our shops, our services include Carpetinc and Joinerinc, professional services that are accessible to everyone to use. The foodbank at Instant Neighbour has offered emergency food parcels to people in need since 1984 when the charity launched in the back room of Holburn West Church in Aberdeen.  Due to the constant increases in demand for our services we rely very heavily on the generosity of individuals, organisations and businesses to make donations to keep the foodbank going. We offer employability experiences through volunteering in our shops, warehouse, in our vans and in our office. Any profit made from the above go back into the organisation to support our Charitable work. You can help us to help those in need by: shopping with us for furniture & electrical goods; using our high-quality, professional carpet supply & fitting and joinery services; giving a gift to the Giving Tree at Christmas; donating your good-quality used furniture, electrical and household items; donating second-hand clothing; donating non-perishable food to us; giving us your time by volunteering with us; or making a financial donation.
