Dumfries Friends at Troqueer Primary School
Our Dumfries Friends members and volunteers enjoyed a short trip in the June sunshine to Troqueer Primary School to play games and to chat about schooldays then and now over a cup of coffee and a cake. Great fun was had by all. Thanks for having us Troqueer Primary! #intergenerational work in action #volunteerweek 2018
Basic CPR and safe use of defibrilator training for volunteer befrienders
We recently trained a number of volunteer befrienders in the Nithsdale locality on basic CPR and the safe use of defibrilators (which we have). Pictured from the left are Gerry, Anne, Alison, Margaret and Sandy with their certificates. Missing from the photo are Lawrie and Alex and staff members Dot and Margaret who also did the training. More great work done by Food Train on building resilient communities.
Food Train D&G Friends Service Forum
We like to hear what our customers want from us as a service provider and what volunteers are prepared to do to help us achieve this, so regular forums are important. We held our latest Friends service forum in Castle Douglas this week to do just that and we gained lots of ideas and information to take away to consider. Pictured are staff with customers and volunteers who attended from across the D&G region.
Food Train Friends visit Cumnock Factory Outlet
Our Dumfries and Upper Nithsdale members went to the fabulous Cumnock Factory Outlet store this month (back by popular demand) for food and shopping together. Great fun was had by all. Pictured are some happy members about to set off home with shopping on their laps! Photo taken by our wonderful volunteer driver, Gobert. Thanks as always to our volunteers for helping to support the trip and to the staff at the shopping outlet for their warm welcome and help. We will be back!!
