Charity Partners

The Habbie Simpson Gowfin Society is delighted to Partner with the STAR Project, an award-winning community organisation based in Paisley.

STAR Project has been at the forefront of tackling the impacts, and the associated stigma, of poverty and deprivation since its creation in 1999. They deliver successful group, individual and community activities and supports that build resilience through themes of Wellbeing, Connections and Creativity.

In 2025 we were able to make a donation of £1000 to help support STAR’s ongoing mission to reduce isolation, empower local people, and create opportunity and aspiration for all.

Treasurer Scott Bogle said “The work STAR Project does, particularly during tough times, reflects the values of teamwork, community, and local pride our society was founded on.”

Accepting the donation, Sharon McAulay, Chief Executive of the STAR Project said, “It’s fantastic to have the support of the Habbie Simpson Gowfin Society. Every pound will go towards providing vital support to individuals and families across Renfrewshire”
