Inchgarth COVID-19 Support Project

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ PRIOR TO CONTACTING US.

As many of you will be aware, Since March 2020, Inchgarth’s team has been working hard to roll out a large support project for those who are struggling socially, financially, and mentally as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This has only been possible due to successful funding bids to various trusts and the Scottish Government, including your vital donations and the amazing volunteers.

We have recently secured funding to continue our support project while we are running our own foodbank service too every Wednesday 2.30-4pm. The financial support will be prioritised to first time applicants and those with the greatest need, and only in the communities outlined below.

It is important that you follow the simple instructions on how to apply, where we will do our best to make a decision as quickly as possible. Our decision is final and we cannot enter into debate or negotiation with those not happy with the outcome, so we kindly ask for respect and patience as we work our way through the applications.

We know how tough things are for many families and individuals just now, and we are both proud and privileged that Inchgarth has your trust and in a position to help when it’s needed most. For those who are in a position to do so, please continue to donate cash and food towards our project, no matter how small as it makes a huge difference.
