Meal Makers is a charity that helps isolated older people enjoy the benefits of a home-cooked meal provided by a neighbour.
It connects volunteers of any age who have a passion for cooking and want to be active in their communities (“cooks”), with older neighbours over the age of 55 (“diners”) who would appreciate a home cooked meal. Once a cook and diner have been matched, the cook will prepare an extra meal in their own home and deliver it to their diner at a time agreed by both parties. Meal shares can occur as often as the cook and diner would like, so it might be weekly, fortnightly or just now and again. It helps improve nutrition, reduce isolation and build community links that so often have been lost. There is no cost attached to the meals, as they are a voluntary donation of food between members.
The only cost is a £5 fee for the diner to join Meal Makers for the year. Contact Robert Peacock 07710 703528 or email robert@mealmakers.org.uk
