Theresa Alford Maitland

Chairperson

I have worked on a voluntary basis for 13 years within Renfrewshire, on various community projects/organisations. My experience has allowed me to gain a grass roots understanding of the barriers that prevent people within the community from achieving their goals, or accessing resources and services. 

I founded 'The Neighbourhood Challenge' 3 years ago, to date we have empowered numerous volunteers to support the organisation, within their own communities. I co-ordinated the group and engaged people, through events, such as community clean ups, plays and story-telling.

The initiatives I have been involved in include:

  • The Neighbourhood Challenge Scotland

  • Sunshine Recovery Café

  • Paisley West End Residents Association

  • Renfrewshire Womens Association

  • Renfrewshire Rising

  • Food Bank Paisley

  • Home Start Renfrews

  • Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival
