Our latest 1-2-1 match and introduction visit
This is Mary (and her wee dog Max) being introduced to her volunteer befriender Morag recently. They plan to have a chat over a coffee on a regular basis, which will be great for Mary as she was recently widowed.
NO BISCUIT WEEK 2018
It is that time of year again when we put down our digestives and to pick up a pear instead.
That’s right Monday 23rd July 2018 – Friday 27th July 2018 is officially NO BISCUIT WEEK!
As a healthy working lives employer Food Train are proud to promote healthy choices for staff and volunteers in the work place, and No Biscuit Week is a brilliant reminder and motivator to give these choices some consideration.
We will be getting into the spirit of No Bisuit Week at Food Train by sharing pictures of our healthy eating choices along with other health related information that encourages good health decisions such as health advice, healthy recipes and fitness achievements. Keep your eyes peeled for them on our social media channels!
In prepartion for the week we've been checking out these excellent resources:

I do like to be beside the seaside!
Our Dumfries Friends members enjoyed a wee trip to Southerness this month thanks to an invite from one of our volunteer befrienders, Isobel, who was a great hostess! You can see the famous Southerness Lighthouse in the background in the photo as well as those who attended. A great time was had by all. #kindness
