A much-loved Paisley charity is celebrating after receiving £4500 to better insulate their building and create additional accessible toilets.
Mental health charity Kickin’ On received the generous donation from the Screwfix Foundation – the charity which supports not-for-profit organisations and charities in need across the UK to fix, maintain and improve properties and facilities.
The organisation, founded by Dave McKenna was launched in February 2020 from the urge to prevent people from taking their life in the Renfrewshire community.
Kickin’ On - which was named Renfrewshire Charity of the Year in 2022- was formed by Dave after he lost a close friend to suicide.Established just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, Kickin’ On initially used football as a means to bring men together to talk about their mental health.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
