Thank you, Food Train ! We’re long admirers of all that you do for Scotland’s older folk. Appreciate the shout out and we feel the privilege of being to be able to give back to our older folk too. They paved the way and we’re forever grateful.
Some in our community might develop coping behaviours that have their own risk factors. Organisations and allies like Kinder Stronger Better and Alcohol Focus Scotland can help us to make informed choices and live our best lives.
