This is of course our great success story. The service started during lockdown and has continued since. We’re conscious that there must be more people interested in receiving meals – all we have to do is find them. To that end, we had the opportunity to apply for a Covid Recovery grant which I’m delighted to say we were successful in receiving. It means that we can supply free meals to up to 40 people a week for the next 12 months which has to be the best news! Maybe some of the meals will go to Ukrainian families.
