We're delighted to announce a new meals service that will begin on the 1st of July to Penrith Town.  We would love to hear of anyone interested in receiving meals.  Hot, freshly cooked food - five days per week.  Mains are £4.20 and Desserts are £1.70.

Could you volunteer? We are looking for car owners to be delivery drivers for Penrith.  Miles allowance paid.

All enquiries contact us on 01768 877977.

​We're very happy to announce that we have received £20,000 from the Big Lottery Fund to help support our volunteer drivers. This allows us to keep paying mileage expenses to cover the city, towns and most importantly, our rural rounds. In the past 12 months our volunteers have travelled 60,000 miles.
Could you be a future volunteer? Have a look at our Volunteer page and get in touch to join our teams.

What does the NHS winter surge mean for us? Over the last 12 months we have been working with the NHS and other agencies to try and shorten hospital time for patients. This means we supply meals to those who might only need them temporarily while they recover their health, as well as those with longer term needs. Good nutrition is a key to recovery and our goal, as always, is to provide for all who request help.

Numbers have risen significantly and at present, we serve 180 meals per day, hot and delivered to the door by our volunteers. While the present crisis might leave you feeling helpless, there is something you can do. We need more volunteer drivers - we have asked before and have lots of lovely people giving their time - yet the demand keeps increasing. If you have a car and can give some time weekdays, give us a call on 01228 267167 and talk to Trish. Mileage expenses paid. You can make a difference!
