Sainsbury's Dumfries

We're a local charity and run a busy food surplus project called The Pantry, which runs seven days a week year round, with a drop-in centre every evening from 7pm. We have been in operation for many years and have worked with Neighbourly very successfully from its inception. We love being able to provide food and assistance to hundreds of people every week and are recognised and valued by the local community. We work closely with other services, especially Dumfries and Galloway Council - social work, education (secondary schools), criminal justice, etc. as well as the local prison and Dumfries and Galloway Health Board. In addition, we provide referred food parcels through our 'Foodbank' service. We greatly value our ability to provide food with dignity, not having to ask awkward questions and love the way we're able to ensure as much surplus food gets to be used and not wasted. We aim for 'zero waste' and attract attention from local people and organisations concerned about the environment. We value collaboration and networking, having set up communications groups connecting most of the local food providers. There's no point in allowing competitive attitudes to develop - we're all here to help people and we can do that much more effectively by working together as much as possible, fostering supportive relationships.

Local football group serving girls aged between 10- 50 (although open to older ladies joining). We are supporting girls and ladies to participate in physical activity in either a fun or competitive environment (or both) whilst tackling social isolation. We have capped our fees to make the group as affordable for all, whilst also having a fund for those who may struggle to pay any fees. Due to rising costs this means that we have to subsidise fees with fundraising efforts and the kind support of donations.
