What is available?

Community Meals, often known as 'meals on wheels', can help ensure that people receive proper nutrition on a daily basis, whatever their own circumstances.

All the meals are nutritionally balanced, cooked locally and delivered hot to the home in foil containers. We recommend that you eat the meals hot soon after delivery and do not try to reheat them. A typical meal will consist of a hot main course of meat or fish with vegetables and a hot or cold sweet. 

Diabetic, low carbohydrate, low fat, soft diet, gluten free and low sodium, as well as vegetarian, Halal, Kosher, Asian and Afro-caribbean meals are also available.

Meals on wheels

Who can get meals on wheels?

This service is for people aged 18 and over, normally older people, who are unable to prepare and cook one hot meal a day. This may be a permanent situation due to sight loss, a physical or learning disability, illness or a temporary situation such as recovering after a stay in hospital, to help you maintain your independence and quality of life.

Community Meals in Stockport are provided by Individual Solutions SK and, if you prefer, you can contact them direct to arrange for meals to be delivered to your home.

How much does it cost?

The cost is £5.00 a day for the hot main meal and dessert, delivered to your door.

Can I get help with the cost?

No, not in this instance. The cost of preparing the food and delivering it to your home has to be covered so there is a fixed charge that everyone has to pay. 

How to get in touch

The Adult Social Care Team is the first point of contact for all referrals and general enquiries. Contact them from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday on 0161 217 6029.
