There are a large & growing number of frail and older people living at home. With ongoing welfare & increasing cuts, it is becoming more difficult for them to stay safe & well in their own homes. They no longer have the strength to do their own shopping, cooking or clearing up & they are on low fixed incomes. Consequently, they cannot cook meals for themselves & would live on unhealthy convenience food or less & less food & rapidly become unwell & be at risk of having to move into a care home.

Our project Magnanimous Meals will solve the problem by organising our willing band of 175 volunteers to prepare, cook, pack and deliver individual meals to the frail and elderly people we have described. As well as the meal, the human contact provided by our delivering volunteers is an important social and welfare benefit, making sure all is well, and that users are able to unpack and access the meals, thus safeguarding their health, wellbeing and independence at home for as long as possible.
