IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT

Food For Scotland

It has been a very challenging year for all of us. In response to the pandemic, since May 2020 up to date, our Food For Scotland volunteer team has cooked and delivered more than 25,000 meals directly and via partner organisations to homeless, vulnerable, self-isolating, elderly, low-income families/individuals and front-line workers too.

In November, 2020 we started a hot meals home local delivery service for those who needed it covering Lesmahagow, Coalburn, Kirkmuirhill, Blackwood, Larkhall, Carluke, Lanark, Rigside and Douglas areas. With great team effort of our volunteers - over 6,000 meals has been cooked and delivered.

We are continuing this service during the summer to elderly, low-income family and individuals and anyone else in difficulty as there are still a number of people affected by the pandemic.

Community Recovery Project

Since end of February, our online meditation events and Yoga Online were attended by 613 people in total. People really appreciated this support from the comfort of their home, that also provided much needed sense of community in the online environment.

From the end of April we have been running in-person yoga outdoors that was attended by over 100 people.
