The STAR Project is a community organisation that delivers long lasting positive social outcomes, building safer, more connected and resilient communities in Renfrewshire. We work with individuals and groups through our themes of Wellbeing, Connections and Creativity. We ensure the voice of the community is front and centre through regular consultation and continual service development. We address the continuing cost of living challenges in the community through projects connected to our themes, including through provision of food and essentials. We tackle the impact of poverty and poverty related stigma, in part, through the delivery of issue-based workshops, successful campaigns and longer-term projects with partners. We are a vital anchor point for many people and our reach continues, both geographically and demographically, making a difference to the lives of thousands each year.
