GALASHIELS AND AREA FOODBANK
The local foodbank, based in Galashiels but covering a wider area, was started by members of various local churches back in 2014. It is sad in many ways that it has grown: sad that food is now needed by numerous more people but not sad that we are able to continue to
enable people to access help as needed. However we have reached a point of maximum capacity; despite having many excellent volunteers and Trustees if we are to expand and find new ways of helping people to eat well and flourish health-wise, we need now to employ a staff member to help co-ordinate our output and our response.
The post is hybrid in terms of location and in part of when hours are worked. It is 15 hours a week and salary is £11,700 per annum. If you, or any one you know might be interested in exploring this local employment opportunity: the chance to be an important part of a lively and interested group, then post information, job description and application form can be accessed from www.goodmoves.org.
Closing date for applications 13th March. 6.00 pm.
Messy Church
Messy Church meets at 3.00pm on the second Sunday of the month in Melrose Parish Church and Hall. There are stories, games, crafts, singing, food and fun… Messy Church is for families however members of the congregation are most welcome to come along and watch or join in. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
