Housing Association Donation Boosts Fund for Vital Service across Stirlingshire

Rural Stirling Housing Association has donated £1,500 from its Community Fund to the Stirling branch of the Scottish Charity: Food Train, to help purchase a new van.

Fran Thow, Food Train Regional Manager, was delighted with the donation which will boost their fundraising.

Fran said:

“The van will help us to sustain our essential service and continue to reach as many vulnerable older people as possible throughout Stirlingshire.”

Fran added:  “If you are struggling to access food or would enjoy some friendship and a home cooked meal, please contact your local Food Train on 01786 450536 or email stirling@thefoodtrain.co.uk.  If you are interested in volunteering with Food Train please visit http://www.thefoodtrain.co.uk/ or call us for more information.””       

Each year Rural Stirling Housing Association makes funding available to community groups and organisations from a Community Fund.

Mark Griffiths, Vice Chair of Rural Stirling Housing Association said:

“We are delighted to be able to support this much needed service that reaches out to the most vulnerable in our communities. We hope that our donation will make a difference and help sustain this service.”
