STARTER PACKS GLASGOW

Starter Packs Glasgow sources household items on a predominantly re-use basis and redistributes these goods in the form of starter packs to households making the transition from homelessness to the taking up of new permanent tenancies.

You can help this worthwhile cause by donating goods such as:

• Crockery – plates, bowls, tumblers, mugs, storage containers etc

• Kitchen Utensils – pots, pans etc

• Linen – duvet covers, sheets, pillow cases, blankets, towels, tea towels, curtains etc

• Clothes

• Small Electrical Items (in good working order) – kettles, toasters, DVD players, radios, irons etc

• General Household Good – e.g. washing up liquid, cleaning materials

• Furniture – suites, chests of drawers, single wardrobes, dressing tables, complete beds

In 2010-11, 55,227 households made homeless applications to their local council in Scotland and it is reckoned that over 22,000 children are affected by homelessness. This is a problem that in these economically difficult times is not going to go away.  So please consider helping this worthwhile organisation assist those who do find homes get off to a better start.

Starter Packs Glasgow can be found in Burleigh Street, Govan, Glasgow, G51 3LA.  The organisation can be contacted by telephone at 0141 440 1008 or by Email at administrator@starterpacks.org.uk. Its web address is www.starterpacks.org.uk.

CAN YOU EDIT FILM ?- THE EASTER PROJECT

If so, we would like to hear from you.  A number of you who have access to YouTube may have seen the clever and entertaining film made by Kuinerrarmiut Elitnaurviat 5th Grade,  Quinhagak, Alaska of The Hallelujah Chorus.  This iconic piece of music has appeared many times on the internet and this particular rendition achieved almost 1.5 million ‘hits’ i.e. people watching it.  You can view it for yourself on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyviyF-N23A.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Greenbank could do the same?

Jeanne, our minister, thought that by doing something similar we could get publicity for Greenbank.  However, since we have to make a film, we need the advice and practical expertise of someone (or even more than one person) who can edit film and synchronise it to music.

There will be opportunities for many members of the congregation to take part in the project in a whole number of ways, but unless the film can be edited, we will not reach the worldwide audience we are aiming for.  We would therefore be very grateful for any help you can give in this regard.  

If you can help, please contact our minister, Jeanne Roddick (644 1395) or the publicity convener, Jill
