  • The Scottish Churches Housing Action has a Seedcorn Fund, which gives grants to local groups wishing to get a new homelessness initiative under way. You need not have a constitution, but you must have access to a bank account, and you must be planning an activity to help homeless people in a new way for your area. Existing projects can apply if they need help to start something new. Grants are typically £500, but more is available for the right idea. To find out more click here.


    Cooking For One chosen to be part of national campaign on healthy living!

      

    Scottish Churches Housing Action’s book Cooking For One has attracted the attention of the Scottish Government for their new campaign Take Life On (www.takelifeon.co.uk), a new national healthy living campaign. Cooking For One recipes and photographs were chosen because they are healthy, very affordable and easy to make for a beginner cook. Cooking For One has been written especially for single people who have not had many opportunities to learn how to cook and need a few tips to start. 

     

    All recipes that have been chosen for the Take Life On campaign have been approved by the Food Standards Agency.

     

    Support workers from Clydebank Blue Triangle Housing Association commented, “The book had great cooking ideas for service users which was simple and jargon- free, some of our service users have been using the book on a regular basis with no problems.”

     

    A service user from Fresh Start in Edinburgh got the book when he moved into his new home. He said “The book was very easy to understand and cheap. I’ve done the soup 6 times.”

     

    If you are interested to use the book within your organisation, please contact elodie@churches-housing.org or on 0131 4774500 to purchase copies. Discounts are available for bulk orders. All funds collected with the sale of the book will go towards the charitable work of Scottish Churches Housing Action to work for the prevention of homelessness in ScotlandSample of the book.
