“Blythswood should be highly commended on this worthwhile local community project.

I pay tribute to Lorna Dempster and her team for the hard work and dedication they give to making a real difference to people in desperate need. They have our full support. This is the kind of local community action that reaches out to the people who most need it and I’m proud to see such effort and dedication.”

Mary Scanlon said:

Blythswood Care have been doing sterling work to support people in poverty in many countries throughout the world for many years. I congratulate Blythswood on the excellent local project, “The Highland Foodbank” which has been up and running for almost three years.
The foodbank is supported by donors, churches, volunteers and partner agencies and fulfils a vital role by providing emergency three-day supplies of food to individuals and families who are in financial crisis.

Already in Inverness, Home Start helps people with furniture and household items to make a fresh start. Last year, 1700 people were helped by the Foodbank project which was an increase of 70% from the previous year.

Blythswood have identified a local need and are working very effectively to address this need.”

Working to make a better future.
