💛 It’s more than knowing someone’s shopping list. It’s knowing the person.

Food Train volunteers build relationships with the older people they support. Over time, they get to know what’s normal for someone and sometimes notice when something isn’t quite right.

A friendly conversation and a familiar face can make a real difference, helping ensure support is there when it’s needed.

Because every Food Train delivery comes with something you won’t find on a shopping list:

❤️ Someone who cares.

It’s another reason a Food Train delivery is .

Sponsor a Food Train grocery delivery box for just £10 a year and help us continue to be a trusted lifeline for older people.

Do you have a couple of spare hours on a Thursday morning (approximately 8:00am–10:00am)?
We're looking for friendly volunteers to join our amazing team and help shop for older people who are unable to shop independently. Volunteer shifts take place in Morrisons & Sainsburys in Livingston.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in your local community by helping older people maintain their independence and access the food they need.

💛 Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.

A Food Train delivery doesn’t always end when the shopping reaches the door.

Our volunteers can help unpack and put groceries away, put the bins out, post a letter, change a light bulb, check dates on food or help make sure something hasn’t been forgotten from the shopping list.

Small things perhaps, but they can make a real difference to an older person living independently at home.

💛 Sometimes a delivery is about much more than what’s in the box.

For some of the older people we support, a Food Train volunteer may be one of the few people they see that week.

So, alongside the groceries comes conversation, laughter, a familiar face and someone with time to ask, “How are you?”

These regular visits build relationships and provide something that can’t be put in a shopping bag:

Meaningful connection.

That’s what makes a Food Train delivery .

💛 BOXtober 2026 is here!

And what better day to launch than International Day of Older People.

At Food Train, we know a grocery delivery can mean so much more than food.

It can mean dignity, independence and meaningful connection.

It can mean a familiar face at the door, someone to lend a helping hand and someone who notices when things aren’t quite right.

That’s why this BOXtober we’re celebrating:

More Than a Box!

Food Train is a trusted lifeline supporting older people to eat well, stay connected and live independently.

For just £10 a year, you can sponsor a Food Train grocery delivery box and help us continue delivering so much more.

Something special is coming this October...

BOXtober is back!

This year, we’re celebrating why every Food Train delivery is .

📅 BOXtober begins 1st October.

Todays outing was a Mystery tour, ending in the sunshine at Portobello. A short stroll along the promenade and a lovely lunch, made for a very enjoyable day. "brings back so many memories, I never thought I would see Portobello again" was a quote from one happy member. Members loved guessing the destination, and gathering some local information on the way.
