Tonight's West End Community Council saw a very interesting presentation from Grant Simmons, Regional Manager of the Food Train Project about progress with this excellent initiative the City Council is supporting to assist older people in Dundee with their shopping needs. Last month, I updated residents about the project and this evening Grant advised that the first shopping deliveries to local people will take place during the week commencing 23rd January.
Grant gave assurances that local shops will be included as well as supermarkets in providing the goods and this was reassuring, given the local shops in the West End that provide excellent produce at competitive prices.
Volunteers required in the following roles:
· In store shoppers -To work in a specific supermarket, picking groceries and loading them into the customers shopping boxes
· Helpers - To help check the shopping through the check-out and loading it onto the van. You will then go around our customers
delivering and unloading their shopping
· Drivers - Driving the company van, you will collect the shopping boxes from the supermarket and deliver to our customers,
unloading the shopping and putting it away for them if required
· Office assistance / promotion - Support to the office, answering phones, taking customers shopping requests and helping to keep
the office running smoothly
