About Us:
We offer support and services to local residents, Asylum Seekers, and Refugees in North Glasgow. As time has gone on our services have changed to reflect the changes which have taken place since we first started over 16 years ago.
Our popular charity shop runs twice a week, providing quality clothing and household items for the community at very affordable prices. We are grateful for the many donations provided by our supports. If you have anything that you would like to donate, feel free drop by during our opening hours.
In those early years we would have up to a 100 people waiting for our shop doors to open and with so many we could only allow groups of about 20 through at a time. This as you can imagine was quite frustrating for our customers. As the number of residents have diminished in the area we have been able to make a drop in café available to our clients, where they can come in, have a coffee and meet friends. Whilst waiting they can shop at the North Glasgow Community Food Initiative's Fruit and Veg Barras and then go into the charity shop in the afternoon -- an altogether much more enjoyable experience.
At the moment we are seeing an increasing numbers of Asylum Seekers who have become destitute once they've reached the end of the appeal process. Though sometimes referred to as "failed asylum seekers" this is a misnomer; we have known many who have submitted a successful fresh evidence that has led to a positive decision on their cases. In order to help people through the difficulties of destitution, we have a destitution support programme within the Project to support up to 20 clients with foodstuffs and toiletries. Though this is a very basic level of support, we are happy that St Rollox has become a hub from which destitute asylum seekers can engage with other organisations that can support them, such as the DASS project and Fasgadh. Please pray that there is a change in asylum policy so that people are supported until their case is fully determined.
We have now on our staff volunteers who are able to offer welfare advice on a Tuesday morning. This is a drop-in service in the morning with afternoon appointments.
Anyone who wishes to join us at our Wednesday Prayer Meeting is most welcome. Before the busyness of the day, we take time to listen to how God is speaking to us through the Bible and take a moment to pray for issues -- there is nothing too big or too small!
Our Tuesday Computer Class still offers a range of services from basic tuition to the opportunity to surf the internet-so if you have never taken the plunge and want to get to grips with the new technology, come along and get some help.
We have been very fortunate to have a number of tutors who have committed to our ESOL class over the years allowing us to continue to offer a friendly conversational English Class.
Although some of our services have changed over the years the ethos of the Project remains unchanged. The Project is an integral part of St Rollox’s outreach and mission in the local community. As the doors of the church open to welcome people from many different nations, so relationships are built and opportunities made and taken by the many committed Christians on our team to share the Gospel through word and action!
