The Scottish Pantry Network is a charity /membership organisation which supplies necessary support to pantries across Scotland, encouraging more dignified access to food across the network. Our new Community Hub in Tollcross provides local residents with free cooking classes to tackle one of the roots of food poverty. We are looking to collaborate with various other organisations in order to provide more practical workshops (i.e. financial/artistic) to the local area. In the future, the Hub space will support upskilling the community through volunteering and employability opportunities, with the space itself being utilised as a training facility. We provide the pantries in our network with Prepmate meal kits, which aims to give people the opportunity to create their own meals from scratch using a recipe card. These kits can feed a family of four and help supply people with fresh vegetables and healthy recipes for more affordable prices. Please get in touch with our Community Development Worker: @[email protected], or [email protected] if you have any services that could be offered at our Hub space or if you have any ideas/projects that could utilise the space wisely.

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.

ANYiSO is established to ensure that ethnic minority women, their children, and young people from all backgrounds are given the support and services needed to enable them to live better and safer lives. We ensure that these women, children, and young people are confident in raising issues that affect them and are empowered through skill development workshops, training, and counselling. We connect them with network partners and help them access support and services to enable them to live a safer and more meaningful life. In addition, we encourage them and boost their confidence through social and cultural integration.
