Churches

We rely on the support of churches to help is by providing not only financial support, but also by holding collections for us as Easter, Harvest and Christmas.

To find out more about what we need at the moment, please call Susan on 0141 445 8608.

Churches in the city provide us with support in a number of ways, for example by:

  • Giving prayer support
  • Holding an event to raise funds for our work
  • Collecting goods on our behalf
  • Donating money towards our work
  • Encouraging members to become volunteers with us

Schools

There are lots of ways your school could help us, whether you are a primary or a secondary school.

You can organise either a class event or something that involves the whole school. And because our work is local to Glasgow, pupils are able to see the difference that is being made in their own community.

Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

  • Sponsored walk/silence/spell or anything that you fancy!
  • Organise a disco and charge for tickets
  • Have a no uniform day or a fancy dress day
  • Arrange a Battle of the Bands and pit school bands against each other!
  • Host a school quiz and charge a fee for each team that enters

If you would like to speak to someone about fundraising in your school, please call Lynne Bennett on 0141 445 8608.

  Donating Food

We are always looking for tins of food, which we give out at The Shieling. We need:

• Beans & Spaghetti

We are always looking for charity donations of tins of food which we give out out at The Shieling.

• Ravioli & Macaroni Cheese

• Soups & Puddings

• Meat & Fish

It is more helpful to us if you could only bring us tins of food, as we can’t use rice, pasta, etc. If you have a collection of food to drop off, please bring it to our office.
