A chef has turned his hand to feeding vulnerable families during lockdown.
Simon Brown, who works at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, has been preparing meals for people in need since the venue closed.
With the help of his Hospitalfield colleagues, he has prepared more than 100 meals in the last two weeks for people struggling financially.
Simon worked with Angus Council family support workers, Laura Souter and Marie Ferguson, to provide the food, which was delivered by volunteers.
Simon said: “It is great to be able to contribute to the current effort in supporting people through this time of crisis.
“Without the knowledge and networks of Laura and Marie this project could not happen so it is a good exercise in collaboration and partnership.”
The team are providing 60 meals per week, on Mondays and Fridays, but are prepared to increase this if there is a higher demand.
To help fund the service, Simon is selling takeaway meals on Wednesday evenings.
Angus Council leader David Fairweather said: “Providing food for many families and individuals is vitally important now, more than ever.
“Simon at Hospitalfield approached the council as he wanted to make sure this support went to those most in need and we were pleased to be able to help.
“We hope these meals make life a little bit easier for them during this difficult time.”
