Today, I joined up with Melanie Bussicott and the terrific team at Elmbridge Borough Council to help with their Meals on Wheels service. This is a valuable local operation, delivering hot lunches to elderly and vulnerable residents across Elmbridge who are unable to prepare meals themselves.
I helped to pack the meals at the Molesey Centre for the Community, and delivered them to residents in the area – while socially distanced, using hand sanitiser and PPE – with Lisa Beeks.
The Meals on Wheels service has seen an increase in demand of over 50% compared to this time last year. The team is now delivering up to 1,500 meals every week, with volunteers playing a key role. My thanks to all our local volunteers, and for the community spirit that defines Elmbridge.
