ROLE DESCRIPTION
Our volunteering opportunities at our Community Fridge and Pantry Plus include van driver roles, serving customers and cash handling, delivery support, making up food packages and stocking the shop and storage area. Our Community Fridge provides free food and essentials for those who need it, and our Pantry Plus offers food and essentials 40% cheaper than the cheapest supermarket. Our ethos is to provide a sustainable, dignified food provision that minimises plastic and food waste in a safe, anti-stigma environment.
ABOUT THIS ORGANISATION
The STAR Project (est. 1999) is an award-winning community organisation that delivers long lasting positive social outcomes, building safer, more connected and resilient communities in Renfrewshire.
Our work focuses on tackling the impacts of poverty, deprivation and associated stigma prevalent in our communities through a systemic approach to building resilience. In the heart of the multiply deprived area, where individuals and families face well documented challenges, we facilitate opportunity and aspiration, boost life chances, engender community ownership and celebrate every success.
Our unique wraparound way of working allows us to see the person, not a label, not a statistic, which ultimately makes people feel safe and accepted and ready to take a step towards realising their potential. No other service in Renfrewshire, that we are aware of, supports community members in such a comprehensive and effective way.
