Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the advancement of religion','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'

We are part of the Trussell umbrella network, providing help and support to those referred to us by local welfare agencies who recognise their clients' need for food and financial support. We provide them with food and, with their permission, refer them to Citizens Advice (who are available on site) to review their benefits. As we are in a position to review their benefits there and then, we find that many people do not need to return to us, as they can often afford to purchase the food their family needs. We also provide support to the local primary schools - (in an area of severe economic and social deprivation) as requested by the head teachers.

Beneficiaries: 'No specific group, or for the benefit of the community'

Objectives: 4. The objects of the Trust are: 1 (a) to relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused hereby in the Glasgow South East area, as generally recognised by Social Work departments. These persons will generally be in a state of crisis, and will be referred to Glasgow SE Foodbank by various welfare organisations. (b) to promote and fulfil such other similar charitable purposes beneficial to the community in the Glasgow South East area as the Trustees may from time to time think fit (c) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Schedule hereto in the United Kingdom or other such parts of the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit
