Community Meals Service
If you live on your own and are finding
it difficult to go shopping or cook your own meals, or if your carer is not
able to cook you a meal in the daytime, you can get frozen meals delivered
to your door. Meals can be delivered weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending
on the supplier you choose.
The London Borough of Bexley has approved a list of suppliers in delivering
meals to clients within the borough. A booklet has been produced which lists
key information about each supplier to assist clients in making a choice that
best suits their taste, lifestyle and diet.
You can download this booklet below:
What if I don’t have a freezer?
Some of the meal suppliers can make arrangements for you to hire or purchase
a freezer from them. More details about this are in the booklet above.
What if I am unable to heat the meals myself?
An assessment of your support needs will be carried out. We will ask you about
the difficulties you have. If it is agreed that you are unable to heat the
meals yourself, we can make arrangements for you to receive help in heating
your meal. For more information about this service, contact 01322
356363.
How much will it cost?
You will have to pay for meals that are delivered to you. How much you pay
depends on the meal supplier you choose. Each supplier will provide you with
a brochure with all prices clearly shown, to allow you to make an informed
choice.
How do I order my meals?
This depends on the meal supplier you choose, but normally you can order your
meals over the telephone, by the internet, by post or by giving your order
to the delivery driver.
