Summary

The Recycle Room has been running a successful community laundry and basic repair programme for over 2 years. This is highly successful and is being used by more and more people throughout the community. Due to the increasing numbers we are having to expand the programme and hours to show different skills and repairs. We are looking to show how repairs can be done to items like jackets, trousers, shoes and also household items.

Description

The Recycle Room is a community organisation based in Clydebank that accepts donations of clothes, household items, school uniforms etc. which are then made available, for free, to people in the community who need them. 

We make bundles for people who are moving into new homes that include things like plates, mugs, slow cookers, utensils, curtains, lamps etc which they otherwise may not have been able to afford.

We help a lot of vulnerable people in the community who are experiencing poverty and food insecurity, however we don't have the facilities to make food or give food away and therefore would like to apply for £1000, £500 of which would go towards purchasing Farmfoods vouchers and £500 would be for admin costs associated with giving the vouchers out. We see so many families each week who require this kind of support in addition to the support we already give and this funding would help us address this.
