Meals on Wheels Cumbria

Our most controversial Whiteboard Wednesday yet? It was fairly unanimous from our volunteer team... what would you say 'scone as in gone' or 'scone as in stone'? Whatever you call them, most people agree that they are delicious!

Would someone you know benefit from 'hot food, nicely cooked' delivered by our 'friendly volunteers'? If so, we can help. Get in touch: www.mealsonwheelscumbria.org or call 01228 267167

Picture shows a recent quote from a family member who said: "Hot food, nicely cooked, your friendly volunteers... It’s such a valuable service." Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for the responses this so far - they are so helpful. We'd love to hear from as many people as possible, if you've had meals or worked with us - it would be great to hear your experience. Thank you! Our survey is here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/KNd7XTFj5V

Have you, or a family member, received meals from us? Or do you volunteer with us? We need your help!

We are grateful to be supported by organisations who help fund our volunteer miles. As part of that process, they like to hear feedback about how the service makes a difference. These comments and stories help us fund our deliveries - they keep those wheels turning!

We just wanted to say a big thank you to The Hadfield Trust for their continued support of our service and their recent grant of £1,694. Over the years, the Trust has awarded several different grants to us here - with this grant, they have enabled us to purchase new tables and equipment for our volunteers to use as they support us with food preparation and administration. We are so pleased to be able to provide suitable equipment for their important work. Thank you!

A little word on preparation... we had a grant recently to help with our food preparation (more details on that soon!) and it highlighted how important all the prep work is to our meals here. Our food is freshly prepared by our volunteer and kitchen teams on-site, ensuring freshness for all our dishes. At each stage, our meals are prepared with care and love... From peeling and chopping to cooking and delivering, we want our customers to have the best service!

No rest for our ovens... All freshly cooked and prepared at our Shady Grove kitchens!

The weather may have turned a little but come rain or shine, winter or summer... we'll be there!
If you need our meals - or could help us deliver them - get in touch!

Even if you can't help, would you share this post? Someone you know may be just the volunteer we need.

We are looking for volunteer drivers to join our wonderful team - if you have a car and are able to help, even for a few hours a week, we'd love to hear from you.
Mileage paid.
Rounds usually leave our centre at Shady Grove Road Carlisle at 11am Mon-Fri.
Call 01228 267167 or email [email protected] for more information. We'd love to hear from you!
