AN ethical Scottish food producer has donated 10,000 hand-crafted oat bars to Social Bite, the sandwich shop chain which helps homeless people by raising money, feeding and employing them.
Dario Riccomini, the manager of Glasgow-based Aldomak, said: “We pride ourselves on being an ethical business and, when we read about the excellent work being undertaken by Social Bite on behalf of homeless people, wanted to play our part by donating part of our production run to it.”
Aldomak and in the Riccomini family have been part of the cultural fabric of Glasgow since 1932 and has served the café and ice cream scene since the 1970s.
Besides its Glasgow outlet, Social Bite, which donates all profits to charity and feeds more than 150 homeless people each day, also has shops in Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
The capital outlet has attracted attention through the visits of Hollywood A-listers George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
