A great time was had at Ponies Help Children! 🐴

Our members had a fantastic day meeting and grooming the ponies, with wonderful support from the volunteers and staff at Ponies Help Children. It was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves and making new memories. 💕

If you, or someone you know, would be interested in joining us for one of our varied supported day outings in our minibus, we provide door-to-door transport, picking you up from home and bringing you safely home again.

We’re also looking for volunteers to help our members socialise, enjoy new experiences and access local organisations and activities. If you could spare some time and would like to help us add a little more fun to our members’ days, we’d love to hear from you! 😊

At Food Train, we know that strong communities rely on a strong voluntary sector.

Every day, charities and community organisations across Scotland provide vital support that helps people live healthier, more connected and independent lives. To continue making a lasting difference, the sector needs funding that is sustainable, flexible and fair.

That's why Food Train supports the call for Fair Funding. Long-term, accessible funding gives organisations the stability to plan ahead, invest in their people and deliver the support that communities depend on.

We encourage everyone to learn more about the Fair Funding campaign and why it matters for Scotland's voluntary sector.

🛍️ Can you help West Lothian Food Train? 💚

West Lothian Food Train supports around 130 older people every week, helping those who are unable to get out and do their own shopping. Many of the people we support are socially isolated, and our wonderful volunteers not only deliver groceries but also provide a friendly face and a vital connection to the community.

We're looking for donations of Bags for Life to help us pack and deliver shopping more easily. Using reusable bags will make life much easier for our volunteers.

If you have any new or gently used Bags for Life that you'd be happy to donate, we would be incredibly grateful. Every bag will help us continue delivering this essential service to older people across West Lothian.

If you'd like to donate, please drop in to : Unit 2a, 3 Michaelson Square, Kirkton Campus, Livingston, EH54 7DP or call on 01506 413 013 for further info
Thank you for supporting your local community. Every bag really does make a difference. 💚

🎉 Happy 31st Birthday, Food Train! 🎉

Today we're celebrating 31 years of supporting older people to live well at home.

To mark the occasion, we've taken a trip back to 1995 – the year Food Train began. From 23p tins of baked beans and lunchbox favourites to the launch of Cathedral City Cheddar, we've put together a nostalgic look at what was filling supermarket trolleys when our journey started.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Food Train over the past 31 years. Here's to many more years of community, connection and friendship. ❤️

This week our members enjoyed a supported shopping outing for their groceries. Lots of laughs 😀 whilst going round the store 1-1 with a volunteer and then a cuppa and cake afterwards in the cafe. ☕️🍰
If you are interested in supporting our members with their shopping, or feel that you require some support with shopping, then please contact us on 01506 413013

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 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.
