£20,000 to ensure hot meal service can continue

A Montrose day centre has received a substantial donation from GSK to ensure it continues to provide an essential service to vulnerable members of the local community.

For 30 years GSK’s pharmaceutical manufacturing site at Montrose has worked in partnership with the Adam Centre to provide a hot meal service to elderly citizens in the area.

The food was prepared in the staff restaurant by GSK’s catering partner Sodexo and transferred to the Adam Centre.

As part of a review of Sodexo services at the site it was established that this aspect of their service could not keep up with stringent hygiene requirements.

To ensure the Adam Centre will continue to provide hot meals, GSK donated £20,000.
