The Knights of St Columba are unique in the Catholic Church. The role of the Knights is to support our churches and our communities, to help those less fortunate than ourselves and have a commitment to help develop our young people in their journey of Faith. We live in the values of Charity, Unity and Fraternity. What makes us different from other service organisations is the spiritual element, what the Second Vatican Council referred to as the universal call to holiness. That is the spirit of the Order, being a lay apostolate. If you wish to join us on our journey, now is the time to take the Opportunity to Serve. For more information contact Brian Henry (Provincial Grand Knight), E-mail: brianhenryksc@hotmail.com or Tony McCartney (Provincial Membership Officer), E-mail: tonymccartney@rocketmail.com or phone our Head Office on 0141 883 5700

Fresh Start is a local ecumenical charity supporting Women’s Aid in association with Scottish Churches Housing. We provide new, small household goods for women setting up a new home after a period in a refuge. The reason for providing new goods is to boost the women’s’ self-esteem which is often low after domestic abuse. The organisation needs someone to take on the role of Treasurer; this will not be a big job, possibly a few hours a month at most. The person will have to set up a bank account, bank cheques from donors and give out money to Fresh Start members when we need to buy more stock for the stores. The person will not necessarily need to come to meetings as most of the business can be done by email or in person. If anyone wishes to know any more information or to volunteer they can contact Sue Cobb on 0141 772 9429.
