Giving people choice in our food larder and increasing their dignity

No comments Largs Food Hub North Coast

We are Largs food hub and have recently started on Nourish Scotland's Dignity Project. We believe giving people as much choice as possible is one way to provide dignity in food provision. We would like to provide a pay forward scheme for our local church of the Nazarene which provides meals for £2 and children are free. If we provide a free ticket and encourage them to go and perhaps by going ourselves this might show that it is ok and take away the stigma of excepting charity.

Green Grass Of Home

No comments Irvine Cricket Club Irvine

From March to late September our cricket members, 13 years + to the adults prepare our cricket wickets for our games by scarifying, spiking, rolling, grass cutting as well as thatch and weed removal. As the season goes on we need to regrow, repair, reseed, fertilise and cultivate these cricket wickets, using our cricket covers for heat, germination and rain protection. This allows us to recycle, reuse the current wickets and cricket square as our ongoing Green Initiative.

The project seeks to provide visitors with a more informative and easier accessed display of the chair in which Robert Burns sat while in an Irvine bookshop. This will illustrate the central role of William Templeton, the bookseller, in the development of Robert Burns from apprentice flax dresser to world famous published poet.
