20th Anniversary Fundraising
Food Train has recently launched a fundraising campaign for our 20th anniversary year, aiming to raising £20,000 to help buy new vans, keeping the vital food service on the road helping hundreds more older people to get regular supplies of fresh foods and groceries. Our vans are our biggest asset, replacing them is costly and you'd be making a massive difference to the lives of older people in Scotland if you could help us keep our fleet on the road. THANK YOU.
Can you help us raise £20,000 in our 20th year? You can donate to Food Train on MyDonate directly via the donate now button. Check out our profile page here: https://mydonate.bt.com/events/20anniversary/196732#donationSummary
Celebrating 20 years on track

Age Scotland CEO takes the 'train'
Age Scotland CEO Brian Sloan spent a day with our Stirling Food Train team recently to see first hand how our grocery service works. Our volunteers didn't go easy on him and he spent the day loading, unloading and delivering vital boxes of fresh food and grocery supplies to our older members in and around Stirling. He thoroughly enjoyed his day and saying what a great experience to see the service first hand, how vital it is and how fantastic our volunteers are. Brian is pictured with our National Operations Manager Karen Allum.
Successful Age Scotland Conference
Our staff at the recent Age Scotland Conference was a great chance for us to showcase the work of Food Train and our exciting new national food sharing project Meal Makers. Our stall had lots of visitors and we gave away lots of leaflets and talked to lots of people. Pictured with our team are Brian Sloan CEO of Age Scotland and former pro footballer Jim Leishman
