Today we’re sharing a Charity Hub success story from just one of the varied projects our building is home to! You met Create Paisley before, but did you know they run their weekly young people’s drop ins right here from the Hub itself?

And who can blame them? Our 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥, 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 with a kitchenette and lots of group seating. And best of all, it’s 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞!

There are still 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦, so if you’re interested in a comfortable, funky space for your club or class, please do just drop us a 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐛@𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐭.𝐧𝐞𝐭!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! 📢

Today in the Charity Hub we’re happy to have received a drop of the 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 issue of the Good News Monthly Newspaper! An exciting new initiative by TLC, or Together Leading Communities, aiming to balance out the everyday bombardment of disheartening media with a healthy dose of community-based stories of positivity, kindness and unity from across Glasgow and Renfrewshire, (even as we stay aware of the going’s on in our wider world) 💓

Visitors to the Hub building can flick through a copy in our first and second floor foyers, though, *𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘛 𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘛 *, we’re rather partial to page 12 ourselves, if you know what I mean 😉👣

Three cheers for our amazing volunteers from Balfour Beatty , who cleared the front bed for us, so that we can show Paisley our best face (and we can actually see the building name again!)

Courtesy of the (equally fantastic) volunteers from Scottish Enterprise , it's now home to some beautiful new lavender, ready to bring the smell of summer and a splash of colour 🪻🏢😮

Have we mentioned before how much we appreciate the help our volunteers give us? Well it doesn't matter if we have already, because we can't thank you enough and we'll say it again: to all the Finding Your Feet Volunteers, you are a wealth of your own, thank you so much❤️

For all you green thumbs out there (or hey, if you just like potatoes), another update on the (slightly alarming) process of our potato 𝚋̶𝚎̶𝚍̶𝚜̶ jungle 🌱🥔

So proud of our brilliant volunteers, we couldn't do this without you ❤

It’s and we’re so grateful to all our wonderful supporters who go above and beyond for our community. Here’s Trooper Tracey and her husband Thomas to tell you how they feel about being a volunteer. 🥰

“The joy I find in volunteering comes from the meaningful interactions and the visible difference I can help make in other people’s lives, as well as the profound sense of connection that comes from working alongside others who share my passion for making a difference. It’s about the laughter shared with new friends, the stories exchanged, and the collective triumphs in the face of challenges.” - Trooper Tracey 💬

“My wife is an amputee and since I have to bring her to FYF, I stay and help. I enjoy giving my time to benefit others as it's good for my mental health and hopefully I can help people with their mental health by just being me. If I can pass on any of my skills to someone else, it could have a positive impact in their lives which can only be a good thing.” - Thomas 💬

What was that? Sorry mate, I can’t hear you. 🔊👂
We’ve been hard at work in the Day Hub updating our new wellbeing room for top secret meetings (ssshhh, I’m not the one who told you that) 🤫. What do you think, James Bond worthy?
In the Day Hub, we like making sure we’re using all of our precious space to the best of it’s potential, so, now soundproofed, the wellbeing room is all set for our in-house counselling sessions, and can double up for any other meetings where confidentiality is key.
