Food Train runs services to support local older people to maintain their independence and to be able to stay at home for as long as possible. Our main core service is a grocery delivery service, this enables older people to access fresh grocery shopping on a regular basis. This reduces food poverty for older people, we are also a very well-known and trusted partner of the HSCP enabling us to get information out to the older generation across the region. Food Train has operated in the Dumfries and Galloway for 26 years which confirms stability and experience of delivering successful support services to older people. These services are needed even more now than ever due to the increased threat to older people from Covid-19, we have the experience and expertise to ensure that services are delivered to the most vulnerable people efficiently and safely. This funding would allow us to employ an additional staff member ensuring that we can continue to meet the increased demand on our services in Dumfries and Galloway.
