During the pandemic LifeCare launched a Meals on Wheels service to deliver hot, nutritious meals to older people across North Edinburgh and Leith. Since launch we have delivered over 18,000 hot meals.
Clients receive two freshly cooked two course meals a week, delivered to their door hot and ready to eat. The service normally costs £6.50 per two course meal but we know that the rising cost of living is putting people in a position where they will choose between heating and eating this winter, so we have secured funding to provide free places with the service for those that need them.
Free places are available to people aged 50 and over, with health and/or support needs, living in North Edinburgh/Leith who are eligible for Pension Credit or Universal Credit. Places are easy to access – no referral necessary- people can just get in touch with us direct to arrange the service.
We would appreciate your help to reach the people who need support the most.
