We are a registered CIC, based in Chesterfield.  We started as a Meals on wheels project of the Asian Association of Chesterfield during the Pandemic in June 2020. So far we have provided nearly 20,000 meals to local communities.  Most of the meals were free and were delivered to elderly and vulnerable who were shielding and isolated. We have a team of 6 Trustees/Volunteers who manage the project.  We also have a team of 6 kitchen staff and Volunteers who are the heart of the Meals on wheels service.  They are all passionate about the work they do to help the most needed. We presently provide meals on Mondays/Wednesday/Fridays. We would like to expand the service to full week as well as expand the kitchen to provide the service to a larger geographical area during these difficult times. Our vison is to reach more people and also to provide frozen meals on days we do not operate, so that the people can store them and use over the weekends. Expanding the kitchen area is most crucial as more people are now enquiring about the service. With the rising cost of gas and electricity, more people are struggling. We need funds to buy more equipment for the kitchen. The funds we raise we will use to expand the kitchen as well have all the equipment like blast freezers and bigger ovens and cookers.

We will also be looking at buying a good van to deliver the meals in larger scale.
