Food for your Future
The Pantry was set up about 5 years ago by four young women. From humble beginnings serving about 30 families, it has grown arms and legs and now serves at times 90-100 families, all administered by a team of up to 10 volunteers.
They aim to prevent food going to landfill. To this end they collect food that is approaching its ‘use by’ date, but still within its ‘best before’ date from local shops, bakeries and supermarkets. Members of the community can access food every Thursday and can take 10 items for £2.50.
A team sets up the Pantry on Tuesday mornings, and serve customers on Thursdays between 12 noon-1.30pm, and again between 5.00pm-6.30pm.
They would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in assisting.

Being a trustee brings lots of opportunities and there are many reasons why people take on the role. If you’re passionate about making a difference then this could be the role for you! As a Girlguiding Scotland trustee, you’ll have the opportunity to use your skills, knowledge and experience to support our work. You’ll make a difference to the lives of thousands of girls. The trustee board focuses on the strategy and performance of Girlguiding Scotland ensuring we continue to develop in response to member needs. Currently the main focus for our work is on providing a motivating and rewarding volunteer experience so that we can build capacity to enable more girls to join Girlguiding in Scotland, thereby ensuring we can sustain the organisation for the future.
As a trustee, you will contribute to shaping the future direction for Girlguiding Scotland and be responsible for ensuring the charity meets all legal obligations. You must be eligible to serve as a trustee of a charity, including being aged 18 or over at the time of appointment. Find out more here about who can be a trustee.
As a trustee you will be an active member of the trustee board, which is chaired by the chief commissioner (our most senior volunteer). The board is responsible for the governance and overall effective management of Girlguiding Scotland. The trustee board ensures that Girlguiding Scotland works within the legal, charitable, and financial requirements of a charity, meets regulatory requirements and promotes good practice.
We’re for all girls and we want Girlguiding Scotland to be a safe and welcoming space for every person that wants to join us. Our trustee board should be as diverse as the girls that we support and inspire which is why we encourage trustee applications from people of all backgrounds. In particular, we would welcome trustee applications from people with disabilities and individuals from ethnic minority groups.

Why we want you
Parent to Parent is the National Autistic Society’s award-winning UK wide confidential emotional support helpline which is provided over the phone by trained volunteers, who are all parents of autistic children and adults. The volunteers all have personal experience of autism and the impact it has on their own families. They are there to give parents and carers the opportunity to talk through any issues, feelings or problems they’re experiencing. They can suggest helpful strategies, signpost them to other sources of information and support, or just provide a non-judgmental listening ear. Volunteers provide this from their own home.
All volunteers must be a parent or primary carer of an autistic child or adult.
What you will be doing
Calling parents and carers of autistic children and adults who have contacted the Parent to Parent Emotional Support Helpline
Providing emotional support and a non-judgemental listening ear to other parents and carers
Signposting parents, when appropriate, to information and advice services via email
Recording details of interactions with parents on the service’s secure system
Dealing appropriately with confidential information and documentation in line with the service’s policies
