Food Train is an award winning charity providing services to older people who are no longer able to manage independently, through age, ill health, frailty or disability. The Connects service offers a volunteer matching service for grocery shopping, telephone befriending and meal delivery.

Help to combat feelings of loneliness, isolation and malnutrition amongst older people (55+) by becoming a Volunteer Cook.

• Paired with an older person to prepare an extra portion of your home cooked meal and deliver it to them at their home.

• To report back to Food Train Connects team and complete all required documentation after each visit.
• To report any matters of concern to Food Train staff
