Due to current capacity limitations, we are currently unable to accommodate new weekend customers.
Meals on Wheels provides delicious hot meals direct to your door, across all of the borough. Our service allows people to remain independent in their own home.
We can provide a range of specialised diets such as vegetarian, gluten free, soft or diabetic. We try to provide meals that meet the medical and cultural needs of our customers.
And our service isn’t just a hot meal! Our friendly volunteer delivery drivers have a quick chat with everyone on the round.
Service criteria
The Meals on Wheels service is for people who:
- can remain living at home if Meals on Wheels services are provided and
- live alone or are without support to prepare a meal and
- are unable to cook or heat up a meal.
Frozen meals can be provided for the weekend if the resident has family or friends visiting who can heat these up. These are delivered alongside the Friday hot meal before the weekend.
