LHM
Lodging House Mission (LHM) provides services including a day centre, food services, activities and chaplaincy.
For over a century, LHM has been a source of hope, empowering disadvantaged individuals to reclaim their lives. As an independent charity grounded in Christian values, the LHM mission transcends boundaries of religion, race, ethnicity and gender, offering care and support to all in need. Amidst an economic downturn that has left more men and women homeless and many others struggling to survive, their dedicated team stands united with a single, powerful goal: to make a lasting, positive impact on people’s lives.
Greenbank Parish Church has been supporting LHM for many years, with donations from our congregation of both food and money.
Donations for the LHM can be put on the trolley in the church vestibule on Sunday mornings, or in the box in the manse during office hours.

Glasgow North East Foodbank
The Trussell Trust supports communities and churches to open food banks across the country, In response to a very real need within the local community, Calton Parched Church signed an agreement with Trussell Trust to operate Glasgow NE Foodbank. In July 2013, they held their first board meeting with members from the church and the local area. Three months later the church opened its doors three afternoons per week.
Supported by The Trussell Trust, the Glasgow North East Foodbank has been going since 2013 providing much-need nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to the people of the east end. Through its relationship with Garthamlock, Ruchazie & Craigend Parish Church, the congregation of Greenbank Parish Church has been donating food and money to the food bank for many years now.
Donations for the food bank can be put on the trolley in the church vestibule on Sunday mornings, or in the box in the manse during office hours.
