Dungannon Swifts Charitable Trust have taken steps to help the vulnerable and isolated in our community during these difficult times. After receiving donations from many local food stores and local businesses including: Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, The Greedy Grill, Ellie’s Restaurant, Bob and Bert’s, The Food Doc and Dungannon Golf Club. We were able to supply ready meals to For You, a local food bank and social enterprise. These have included : Cottage Pies, Sausage Mash with Veg, Beef Chilli and Rice, Irish Stew, Chicken Casserole and Fruit Flapjacks to name a few. To date over 1200 meals have been produced! We have also been able to supply self isolation stickers to those who need them thanks to CR Print who are currently producing them for free. We are also offering to run errands for those in self isolation, from picking up essential food stuffs to delivering vital prescriptions.
We as a Community Club would like to offer our support in these uncertain and worrying times.If you are aware of anyone who is at risk/self-isolating, we are willing to help by doing a few things like lifting prescriptions, collecting some groceries or just running general errands for the those who are unable to do so.
Some of the people to benefit from the service have been in touch to let us know what it means to them:
“Meals from the Swifts were a godsend while we waited to get a delivery slot from Sainsburys. The meals were lovely and contained just the right amount . Swifts doing a brilliant job.”
“I was given a 12 week isolation letter and unable to leave the house. The Dungannon Swifts charitable Trust meals have been delivering nutritious, tasty and healthy meals to me. A different meal every day. It relives the worry of not being able to go out to the shops myself. Thank you so much.”
Please don’t be hesitant to contact us. We are all in this together and together, we will get through this.
