Food Train is a Scottish charity that supports older people to eat well, age well and live well. We are set up to prevent malnutrition, reduce social isolation and help older people maintain their independence, health and wellbeing. We do this by providing practical food support, including volunteer-led grocery shopping and delivery services, ensuring older people can access nutritious food and essential household items. We also deliver our Eat Well Age Well programme, which raises awareness of malnutrition, provides information and advice, and supports earlier identification of those at risk. Through our volunteers, staff and partnerships with communities, health and social care services, and local authorities, we help older people remain connected, supported and able to live with dignity in their own homes and communities.
