The Inchgarth foodbank service provides vital support to the residents of Aberdeen south's communities, thanks to the tremendous support from you the public, businesses, and our dedicated volunteers who make it all happen.
We cannot do this without your food and cash donations, so please consider supporting our efforts, no matter how small. It all makes a huge difference.

So many families and individuals are struggling just now due to the multiple levels of the cost of living rising regularly, so please allow us to extend a warm hand of friendship during these tough times. If you can support our foodbank, please scroll down to see how you can make a difference with food or cash donations to help us sustain this vital service. Thank you.

Once a month on a Wednesday at Inchgarth we have the fantastic Shelter Scotland staff in attendance from 2.30-4pm go give guidance, support, and advice to those facing homelessness, or threat of being homeless. Why not drop in to see the support staff to see what they can do for you. All welcome.
Email Vikki at  Vikki_Duncan@shelter.org.uk

We are delighted to announce that starting in the next couple of months, we will be working with four pillars to provide information and support services for the LGBTQ+ community and their families.
​More information on this service coming real soon!

As we head towards Autumn, Inchgarth will be introducing a free coffee morning to bring people of all ages, all backgrounds, together for a weekly social coffee/tea. There will be no barriers to participation, just friendship and a chance to relax in good company.
TO FUND THIS we are using the kind donations of coffee via our suspended coffee initiative, where the public buys a second cup of coffee when enjoying their own, which we pass on as a cup of kindness.
Monday's will be our coffee morning, so watch this space for more details real soon!

Inchgarth wants to ensure people can come into our centre for a chat, to socialise, or just chill and enjoy a coffee or tea on us where money is tight. Thanks to the amazing generosity of our customers and supporters, we can give others a cup of kindness, simply by asking discreetly for a suspended coffee. Please enjoy this non judgemental friendly cuppa when needed, and if you can support us by buying a second drink when in, then you'd be doing something lovely for others.
