Support your industry charity on national GroceryAid Awareness Day, Tuesday 2nd March, by joining the Scotland branch's FIRST EVER virtual event.

The pandemic has created many challenges for our industry, not least the impact on our industry colleagues' mental health. We are encouraging our colleagues across Scotland to take some time out of the working day and view this Motivational Talk with former Royal Marine Commando, Andy Grant.

At such a young age, Andy has been through more than most people do in their lifetime. From losing his mother aged 12, to joining the Royal Marines, to active service in Iraq & Afghanistan, being injured by an IED, Medically Discharged and facing life as an amputee.

Although what Andy has been through is unique, the problems and adversities we all face in our daily lives are very similar. By sharing his story and sharing the 'S.M.A.R.T' technique - a mnemonic he has created to help him and others deal with problems. He shows that life will put you in all kinds of situations. That's inevitable, however these situations do not determine you as a person, but how you react to these situations will determine who you are as a person.

The Motivational Talk will commence at 12 noon on Tuesday 2nd March and last for 45 minutes, with the opportunity for Q&A with Andy thereafter.
