• Unable to heat ready meals or use a microwave
• Lack the motivation, appetite or memory to prepare meals

What does the service cost?

The daily cost is currently £2.60 for delivery of a hot main meal and pudding. The money is paid to the person delivering the meal.

Can I choose what meal I have?

Yes. WRVS provide a wide range of menu choices, allowing you to choose what you want each day if you wish.

We cover cultural (such as kosher) as well as dietary needs, and including special requirements like soft food or diabetic meals.

Can I buy Meals on Wheels privately?
