Working with our Edinburgh onsite catering partner, 54 afternoon tea boxes along with a food donation were arranged for Cyrenians charity. Sweet treats were delivered to local elderly and vulnerable individuals living across the Edinburgh area.

Cyrenians’ befriending programme arranged delivery of the afternoon tea boxes, providing an opportunity for their volunteers to spend time with their companion. One befriending volunteer is also a colleague, and told us that the cakes and treats generated so much excitement and pleasure.

Many of Cyrenians normal support activities have needed to be suspended, due to many elderly clients requiring to shield from coronavirus, so it was lovely to be able to provide a little treat.

One recipient said:

"It's uplifting to think that someone is thinking of the elderly and isolated especially at this time and I particularly enjoyed the scone and jam."
