Meal Makers

Meal Makers is a local neighbourhood food-sharing project that connects people who love cooking, and who are happy to share an extra portion of home cooked food, with an older neighbour who would really appreciate a freshly prepared meal and a friendly chat.
Time required to complete would be roughly 2 hours per week or fortnight and times are agreed between yourself and the diner. We try where possible to match people locally so this can be fitted in alongside your other commitments

Experience required

No previous skills required.

Travel details

We try to place people locally and ideally within walking distance. That however is not always possible and in some rural locations you may have to travel further. Where possible we would keep this to a short car journey and always give you the option in advance
