Jobs in Murdostoun, North Lanarkshire

MADE4U is a vibrant community organisation in the ML2 area of North Lanarkshire, founded through the collective action and community compassion of a number of local churches in 2006.

Our vision is to see a community free of isolation, low self-worth and lack of opportunity for change. Together, we see a community full of connection, of confidence, and ready for change. Motivated by our belief in God’s love for us, it is our mission to work in the ML2 area to see people encouraged, empowered and engaged, making a real difference. Our main charitable aims are reduction of poverty and distress in the community in which we work, and to increase the health and wellbeing of those in the area, through community development, education, support and recreational activities. We are committed to partnership working, and the engagement and support of local volunteers.

Central to our work are our Five values: Believing in Difference, Acceptance, Refuge, Hope and Love. We work through three departments:

Wellbeing:We provide over 18 different activities including befriending, emergency food, Community cafes, men’s group activities, fuel support, onward referrals and a benefit/money advice service.

Children:We deliver work including awards, active play, family activities, holiday hunger clubs, Christmas and back-to-school-provision work, and aim to support the whole family.

Youth: We operate youth drop-ins, volunteering and employability work, schools engagement and wrap around support for young people and their families.
