The STAR Project (est. 1999) is an award-winning community organisation that delivers long lasting positive social outcomes, building safer, more connected and resilient communities in Renfrewshire. Our current strategy, Community Matters 2, focuses on the themes of Wellbeing, Connections and Creativity, tackling the impacts, and the associated stigma, of poverty and deprivation prevalent in our communities through a systemic approach to building resilience. STAR Project has a solid track record of positive impact across vulnerable or disengaged individuals, families facing disadvantage and likely poor outcomes. Based in the heart of Paisley’s North End, where individuals and families face well documented challenges, we facilitate opportunity and aspiration, boost life chances, engender community ownership and celebrate every success.
