Scottish Government Funds Scheme to Provide meals to the Elderly

A scheme has been developed to provide additional meals for older people. The scheme is designed to tackle health inequalities and food poverty. The scheme is called Meal-Makers and is funded by the the Scottish Government-funded.

The project uses a website to connect willing volunteers with the elderly. The volunteers Volunteers will cook an extra meal and deliver it to the person they are matched with. The Government and the Rank Foundation, a charitable trust, are both providing £60,000 has been provided by The Government and the Rank Foundation, a charitable trust, to fund a pilot scheme in Dundee.

Food Train, will run the project. They are a charity which provide befriending, household support and grocery shopping, with the help of Community Food and Health (Scotland),in low income communities. Health Minister, Michael Matheson said:

"Reducing health inequality is one of the priorities of this Government. But we know that the solutions don't lie exclusively with the health service.One of the best ways to reduce health inequality is to bring people together, break down barriers in the community, and reduce isolation. Another key way is to improve diet and the availability of nutritious food, so Meal Makers is beneficial on a number of levels. I believe there are plenty of people out there who would love to help an older person in their community, but might not know how to go about it. Meal Makers uses an accessible website to make that connection."
