Can you or your organisation directly support your local community? 

The Pyramid at Anderston can make it easy! There are lots of ways to support, get involved and help us to Make Anderston Flourish.

Our work changes lives for the better every day – making sure kids don’t go hungry during the holidays, preventing isolation amongst older people, supporting mental and physical health through our wellbeing programmes, running our low cost Shop, producing quality events, creating amazing experiences and opportunities for people who face barriers to access, and much more.

The work we do at the pyramid has several key outcomes:

• Over 300 people supported each week via our food shop, community fridge, and community meal.
• 10 regular sports / wellbeing sessions each week, with many more added throughout the seasons.
• Our holiday food programmes each school holiday, supporting over 70 local families with food, activities, and respite.
• Art, film design, and cultural experiences of top quality production and international appeal, right on the doorstep of Anderston, allowing amazing access to the arts for local primary school, nurseries, and the community at large.

Ways you can support:

• Donations of goods or food 
  • Good quality and lightly used office equipment and furniture, tools, and products – we can repurpose, sell, use, or distribute to our community. We’ve received donations of bistro tables for our foyer, toilet roll we’ve sold in our Shop, and bulk deliveries of toys and games. Please note, we can’t accept individual items, second hand clothing and bric a brac.
• A collection drive for our Community Shop
  • We have lists of the most needed items, including food and toiletries, and can collect from you. We’ve also received Christmas gift sets, Easter eggs, and other seasonal items which are always very welcome.
    
• Volunteering as a team or individually
  • We host Team Volunteering Days as well as individuals. We love help to keep our building and outdoor areas neat and tidy, and we really appreciate professional volunteer hours. Skills such as accounting, book-keeping, marketing, PR and legal/advice helps us to keep our costs down.
• Raising funds via sponsored events such as the Kilt Walk, a golf day, bake sale or quiz
• Direct donations, payroll giving, or sponsoring an event or one of our projects – as we’re a registered charity, you may pay less tax too
