1 week ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom The Food Train Full time

** Volunteering Opportunity**

Food Train is an award winning Scottish Charity that supports the over 65s to maintain their independence within their own homes through a variety of services.

Food Train's Grocery Shopping and Delivery service is a lifeline for many older people across Glasgow, providing them with a weekly personal grocery shop as well as some vital and often much needed social contact via the delivery teams.

We are currently seeking volunteers to join our team as grocery shoppers for anything from 1-4 hours each morning from 8am.

Operating out of Morrisons in Newlands on Tuesday/Wednesday and ASDA in Govan on Thursday/Friday, volunteers pick our members orders fresh each morning before the delivery teams take over and deliver them out across the City.

The opportunity is a great way of helping support some of Glasgow's most vulnerable older people, whilst meeting new people, supporting your community and helping you get your 10000 steps a day in across the supermarkets

As the role is voluntary we cant provide wages but we can cover reasonable travel expenses, uniforms if desired and quality (or questionable) banter
