  • Food is at the heart of belonging, and homelessness can mean no kitchen or access to cooked food... Thanks to Shona for capturing the photos as she coordinated this massive catering operation to provide a top-notch service for our guests.

  • The meal kits are really great! They always contain simple, cheap ingredients that create fabulous easy, tasty meals. My kids and I get to try something new, and often end up cooking them again in the future. We are always pleased when there is a meal kit on offer.

  • Days like these are so important for Care Home Residents. It brings back memories, and helps people to really reconnect with their memories and experiences.  But it also brings us all together, and makes people so happy. Everyone has absolutely loved it and you can see the smiles and joy it has brought people.  There has been such a buzz, and the staff have loved sharing in the experience with the residents too. We can’t thank everyone enough – it’s been amazing”. 

    Lesley Hobbs, Manager Deerhurst Care Home

  • Just a quick note to let you know the feedback from the risotto was amazing. We had a member who would normally cook alone tell us she'd invited a friend over and they'd done it together and she was able to share food with another friend. Another person noted they wouldn't have had the energy to cook it had it not been pre-portioned. I think more and more people will get the confidence to cook the recipes and it's a lovely thing to look forward to so a huge Thank You all involved. It is a really brilliant addition to the Food Club offering and has definitely brightened up the start of the year!
