We support people who are hungry and lonely by serving tasty lunches and dinners every single day in towns and cities across the country. Many of our guests struggle to afford the basics to eat and many will eat alone without company or conversation.
Over the past few months, we’ve had to change the way we support our guests and run our Projects. Some services are ‘On pause’ but where possible, we are running our Cook and Collect takeaway service. Providing hot, nutritious meals and food for those in need.
We know that so many people are also struggling with loneliness and feeling isolated, so we also launched our Check-in and Chat service, where volunteers call guests for a weekly natter.
We hope to return to Community meals as soon as it is safe to do so.
