Excellent news and appointment by #stirling council. It is so important for older voices to heard and listened to. An Older People's Champion is a great development for making this happen.
4 May 2023
#Stirling Council has appointed Councillor Elaine Watterson as Stirling’s first-ever Older People’s Champion.
The Champion will act as a link between the Council and older people across the Stirling area.

“Social care is not there to be the servant of the NHS”
@drdmacaskill of Care Scotland argues that good social care prevents people needing a hospital and asks what message a 3.8% pay award for frontline care workers sends

👇#Glasgow member Catherine, a real person, with real social care needs, will be left without food/meals in a few weeks. @GCHSCP not responding to our requests for information, what will happen to our members like Catherine if we close? Please RT and sign #SaveGlasgowFoodTrain
31 Jan 2023
Who is going to support Catherine if Glasgow Food Train is forced to close?
Who is going to ensure she has access to food, meals and shopping?
What will happen if Food Train is not there every week?

A cold one this morning but once again our amazing volunteers will be out supporting Glasgow's older people. Rain, snow, hail or shine they are always there. It's Friday so we're out and about in the east end so say hello if you see us.

Thank you @BBCRadioScot for inviting @FoodTrainCEO Michelle Carruthers to share the potentially devastating impact for older people if our #Glasgow Food Train branch is forced to close to due to axed funds.

This is terrible news for all in Glasgow, and a terrible recommendation. So many older people rely on Food Train for vital food access and companionship. What will they do if this decision isn't overturned?

We won! Thanks so much to everyone who voted. This wouldn't be possible without our amazing volunteers doing so much to help older people in Scotland eat well, age well and live well. You're all fantastic.

@ChargePlaceScot why is no-one answering at your 24/7 call centre? I have a delivery van on charge that needs to be released ASAP from a charging point

@ChargePlaceScot can you confirm if the helpline is functioning this morning? I eventually got as far as being put on hold, 50 minutes later I'm still on hold. Perhaps updating your customers on expected waiting times on Twitter would be useful?

Brilliant to see our Glasgow branch feature on STV last night. Great piece highlighting the challenges brought about by the pandemic, and the critical importance of food access in these unprecedented times.
