A bit about ourselves and what we do.
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
