The Food Train is a grocery shopping, befriending and household support service for older people assisting and enabling them to live at home independently for as long as they are able.

Mission
Our aim is to support older people to live independently at home.  Our preventative services address the difficulty older people face getting their weekly grocery shopping, doing jobs around the house and the growing isolation that comes with failing health.  We also aim to provide a wide range of supported volunteering opportunities for people of all age and ability.

Vision
We envisage our organisation as a ‘one stop shop’ for older people – by providing services or helping them access services to help them live independently at home for as long as they wish and are able.
