GIVE & GO: COMMUNITY SUPPORT

GIVE & GO: COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Although our usual football and socially-benefiting activities are currently on pause, our commitment is still focused on the Perth & Kinross community.

We're delighted to be able to launch our Give & Go: Community Support initiative and deliver the following services:

  • FOODBANK DONATIONS - In Perth City North, Perth City Centre and Perth City South, we will make contactless collections of donations from your door-step for the Perth and Kinross Foodbank. Non-perishable food items and non-food items such as toiletries and hygiene products are gratefully received. To arrange collection, please call or email us.
  • DELIVERY - We have offered our services to Perth & Kinross Council and local foodbanks to support them with the delivery or food and prescriptions within the community. If you see a familiar face from our usual football activities - give them a wave! If you require this service, please contact the Council directly.
  • BEFRIENDING CALLS - We continue to make catch-up calls to members of our Football Memories, Walking Football and Mental Health & Wellbeing programmes. However, if you know someone who is living in isolation and would benefit from a chat please contact us and we will get in touch with them.
  • REMINISCENCE ACTIVITIES - At a time of heightened social isolation and loneliness, feelings of connectedness and distraction offer great relief. We will be issuing Activity Packs on the themes of Football, Rugby and/or Movies & TV from the 1950's, 60's and 70's. If you would like to nominate someone to receive one of these, please contact us. Online football reminiscence activities are still available via the RESOURCES page of our website.

You can contact us via email admin@saintsinthecommunity.co.uk or call us on 01738 459095 to arrange any of the above services.

In addition, there is also the opportunity for you to donate towards our Give & Go initiative and the charity in general. Like many other organisations, we find ourselves in a very challenging financial situation. If you would like to donate, you can do so here: https://www.justgiving.com/st-johnstone-community
