Muirton House care home, in Blairgowrie, is supporting Perth and Kinross Foodbank this winter by opening a donation drop-off point within the home.
Staff, residents, family members and the public are being encouraged to bring their contributions in to the home to be redistributed to less fortunate families during the colder months.

Perth and Kinross Foodbank is part of the Trussell Trust, which is a nationwide network of food banks offering support and emergency food to people living in poverty.

As part of the initiative, staff and residents at Muirton House Care Home chose to contribute to Perth and Kinross Foodbank, supporting those in need at what can often be one of the most difficult times of year.

Catherine Russell, Home Manager at Muirton House Care Home, said: “At Muirton House Care Home, we are proud to be part of our local community. It’s important to all of us at the home that we support good causes in Blairgowrie.

“We’re pleased to be able to make a contribution, however small, to make sure that nobody in our area is left without food on the table.”

Blairgowrie Branch of the Foodbank is based at St Catharine’s Community Centre, George St, Blairgowrie. Opening times: Tuesday 9:30–11am and Thursday 2.30–4pm.

Muirton Care Home forms part of Larchwood Care and is managed by Healthcare Management Solutions.
