Connecting through the comfort of food
Share a Meal aims to be a neighbourhood initiative that embodies the best qualities of small villages where everyone is noticed and cared for.
Food makes friends. One woman popped notes through her neighbours' doors asking if they wanted to take it in turns to cook for each other. Another has teamed up with two of her neighbours to provide hot meals for an elderly man living alone on their street. Now they meet and eat together or drop off a dish on doorsteps. Although the idea started with our concerns for older, lonely people, any age can be involved. One mother told us her teenage son loves cooking, likes older people and will happily take part.
Share a Meal is however you want to do it.
