Episode Details

A five-thousand-dollar grant from Virgin Unite’s Local Legends fund is transforming food poverty relief in Stirling’s Cornton area, empowering Support for Families to expand their Aunties Café and community fridge. With this funding, they’re serving hot meals, distributing food parcels, and handing out hygiene products — all while tackling isolation and mental wellbeing. Over two thousand visits, ten thousand meals, six thousand food parcels, and a thousand hygiene items were delivered, with most participants reporting improved mental health and reduced loneliness. The grant covered everything from ingredients to staff and kitchen equipment, turning a pilot into a year-round lifeline. As one of many beneficiaries of Virgin Unite’s million-dollar initiative — nominated by employees with personal ties to the causes — this support is helping communities thrive, one meal at a time.
