Empower Women for Change (EWfC) is a women led charity based in Glasgow, working to empower and support ethnic minority women and girls. We offer a range of inclusive, community-led services that address the root causes of inequality, poverty, and social exclusion. Our work is grounded in respect for lived experience and shaped through co-production with the women we serve. The project will offer: - 5 day a week ( from 10- 3 pm) : Food security services, providing fruits, vegetables, and culturally relevant foods that support dignity and choice. - Nutritional workshops and access to nutritious food and learn how to make healthier, budget-friendly meal choices Nourish & Belong will strengthen and sustain our reputable Food Security Programme, which supports asylum seekers, refugees, and vulnerable ethnic minority families in Glasgow experiencing severe food insecurity, and the inability to afford transport and energy costs. Many of our service users have no recourse to public funds, and are excluded from government support due to their immigration status. They struggle even to access enough food. The cost-of-living crisis - combined with limited or no income, and rising food, transport and energy costs - is pushing already vulnerable households into deeper poverty. This project will empower participants with the tools, resources and knowledge to improve their wellbeing, relieve poverty, reduce financial stress, and support them to improve their living conditions in terms of nutrition, mental wellbeing, and financial security. This programme serves predominantly ethnic minority women, lone parents, asylum seekers, and families with no recourse to public funds. Over 700 households representing over 2000 individuals have regularly access our services since 2020. Many are new arrivals, isolated, or experiencing trauma, poverty, and exclusion.

We provide food parcels to individuals and families who are struggling to access enough nutritious food. The funding will allow us to purchase essential food items, including fresh produce, to meet the growing demand and ensure that vulnerable community members do not go hungry. With increased funding, we can expand the range and quantity of food we provide, ensuring more families are supported.
