The main activities undertaken by the charity in support of its objectives are summarised below. The charity operates a food bank to provide food to service users who are experiencing severe crisis and are in need of urgent help. Individuals are referred to our other services, if possible, to help prevent the need to use the food bank in the future. The charity also operates a community pantry to provide a choice based support service for a small fee. The charity employs an independent advice worker. The advice provided covers a wide range of issues including welfare benefits, housing issues, form filling, consumer problems and debt management.

*OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees and its principal office address as part of the charity’s Scottish Charity Register entry. They are also required to publish the annual report and accounts for each charity, including the names of some individuals. The only exceptions to this are where a charity or one of its trustees applies for this information to be excluded from the Register entry and where OSCR is satisfied that if it were published then the safety or security of a person or premises would be jeopardised.

The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
