We Kin Heat Chat Eat
2024-12-12 • No comments • • Community Budgeting Phase 7
We are applying for £2,500 as we don't get any other support from other agencies
We provide support signposting advice in collaboration with CAB who attend in person bi weekly and also offer support via referrals and phone numbers. We encourage carers to come in and not worry about their heating costs, we want to reduce isolation and we also provide support to over 110 kinship families within West Dunbartonshire
We will open daily through Winter from 10am till 1.30 to facilitate this for families .
£500 will be used for food
The remainder will be spent on continuing support to both our weekly service. This will help with both volunteer and running costs
We also require a soup urn and extra bowls dishes.
The Recycle Room
2024-12-09 • No comments • • Community Budgeting Phase 7
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.
