In the current economic climate, we are all facing financial challenges. For those already on the margins of society, these challenges can be much greater. As a result, more and more people are needing our help.
Your support is vital to the work we do. Please consider making a donation. Every penny goes towards making a difference to people's lives.
On our donations page we have listed some of the ways you can help but if you would like more information you can send us an email
Getting involved.
The Grassmarket Community Project offers a variety of opportunities for individuals to participate in the work that they do. You can support them through volunteering or work placements, by purchasing art and woodwork, and through financial contributions to help us continue to fund the provision of services free of charge to those who need it most.
Volunteering in the project is as varied as the individuals who visit the centre. There are opportunities to work alongside the project participants in their herb garden and kitchen, to befriend individuals who need support in getting back on their feet, to help the team with admin and office work, to be a part of the ‘clean team’ or to help with the delivery of the arts and education program.
Current available volunteering opportunities include:
- Newsletter facilitator
- Kitchen volunteers
- Keen gardeners, ideally with a knowledge of herbs, for our herb garden group
- Grassroots Art helper
- Experienced literacy and numeracy volunteers
- Experienced CV/employment support volunteers
For more information on volunteering contact Gillian Cooper (Communications Manager) on 0131 225 3626 and you can visit their website which showcases the work that they do.
