Meals on Wheels

An update on the County Council's Meals on Wheels service is listed below.

----------------------------------------------

Meals on Wheels are delivered on behalf of the County Council by Health and Independent Living Support (HILS) to residents in the community who are elderly, disabled, or housebound who wish to remain living in their own homes. Hot meals are delivered 365 days a year and a total of 2,983 meals are delivered each week. Not only does the service ensure that vulnerable residents receive regular nutritionally balanced meals, but it also gives family and friends reassurance that every day someone will be visiting their loved one. The service plays a vital role in helping residents to live independently at home, which is one of the County Council’s key priorities.

Meals can be ordered as a one-off, for a temporary period, or for as long as they are needed. A two-course hot meal costs £10.79 and there is also the option of a tea pack which costs £4.40 and contains a cream tea or fresh sandwich, a dessert and a snack. The tea pack is delivered at the same time as the hot meal and is placed in the fridge for later. (Please note, all prices quoted are correct as of December 2024.). For more information and to order meals, please visit www.hils-uk.org or give the HILS West Sussex team a call on 0330 2000 103 (select option 2), or email [email protected]
