Story

COVID 19 - with your support - we can keep supporting older people in need

Your support is crucial in allowing us to continue providing our vital grocery delivery service to older vulnerable people within our communities during this very challenging time.

Our dedicated staff and volunteers continue providing an essential service in the community by delivering vital weekly food and grocery supplies to frail and vulnerable older people in self-isolation. As we face the greatest medical crisis of our generation, Food Train is committed to the ongoing provision of our shopping service as well as increasing the number of people that we deliver to through these challenging times. Lives depend on our ability to respond when needed, but this is something we can only do with your continued support.

We support thousands of vulnerable older people every year and this will only increase during this pandemic.

As a charity that relies on the additional funding donated by the amazing generosity of the public and businesses, the current challenge for us is to sustain the level of donations required to maintain our services. During this difficult time, we understand that many families face their own challenges. Money is limited and the priority will always be taking care of your loved ones. We simply ask that if you have the means to support us during this time, that you consider supporting our mission to help vulnerable older people.

£10 Will buy 2 new shopping delivery boxes

£50 Will buy 5 litres of hand sanitizer & wipes

£100 Will provide enough fuel for 350 grocery deliveries

Stay safe and stay well.
