We are blown away by our community champions contribution this month - Agnes Smith, from Govan has opened a food-bank to help families struggling with the cost of living crisis; under her own steam, she brought together a volunteer team of eight retirees to man the food-bank and negotiated with local shops that they would donate items where the shelf life was close to the expiry date.  This is now helping hundreds of needy families in the Govan area.    

Food banks in the food charity network provided more than 2.1 million emergency food parcels between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022. Of these, 832,000 were for children. This represents an 81% increase compared to the same period five years ago. 

If any of our tenants needs help, please call the poverty alliance on 0141 441 4441, or click on the link for your nearest foodbank.
