The Feelgood Feed: Free fish suppers for an Aberdeen care home while Peat and Diesel give thanks to NHS staff

We live in strange, uncertain times just now but there is plenty of light out there amid the darkness.

Captain Tom Moore, and the mascot named in his honour.

Throughout the coronavirus crisis, the power of community has become all the more apparent.

Across the country, and in every walk of life, people are coming together to help ensure that no one is left to fight coronavirus alone.

From neighbours helping each other with simple everyday tasks, right up to the heroes of our NHS on the front line of the fight, we’re standing together to try to help.

The Feelgood Feed is here to celebrate this community spirit.

Featuring stories from The Press and Journal, the Evening Express, the Courier, the Evening Telegraph and the Sunday Post, we’ll be sharing the most heartwarming, inspirational and even funny ways that people in our part of the world and beyond are helping each other out.

Today, we reported how an Aberdeen chip shop opened specially to provide a free treat to everyone at a care home.

Each of the 40 residents and 10 staff at VSA’s Ruthrieston House were given a fish supper, following a donation from Rainbow City Taxis boss Russell MacLeod.

Oor Wullie’s Braw Fish and Chips on Great Western Road opened up just to cook the meals for them – not taking any other orders – with Mr MacLeod thereafter dropping them off at the home.

Iconic buildings in the heart of Aberdeen have also been transformed into eye-catching colourful creations thanks to the imagination of kids of all ages.

Further south, a Dundee veterinary surgery has named its new cuddly mascot after Captain Tom Moore, the Second World War veteran who has raised a staggering £18 MILLION for the NHS.

Emery, 7 and Mehryn, 5, with their creations.

And, some heart-warming footage as Isabella is discharged from a Scottish hospital and allowed to go home after a she wins her battle with coronavirus.

All this and much, much more.

In case you missed it, Stornoway folk band Peat and Diesel showed their support for NHS workers last night with a live performance outside their house.

The three-piece band, formed of Calum MacLeod, Innes Scott and Uilly Macleod, gave their rendition of everyday heroes by Skerryvore as others clapped for the NHS fighting the coronavirus.

Our mission is simple: we hope every time you visit The Feelgood Feed, you leave feeling happier than when you arrived.
