Noel’s programme wants to “make a difference to Britain” by involving companies and the public in demonstrating acts of kindness”. When he heard about the ‘Meals on Wheels’ service being unable to bring food to the seniors he wanted to do something about it.
Managing Director, Ian White said, “We were really happy for our ‘Eatlunch’ brand to get involved with Noel to get hot meals to the Care Home. We had read about the ‘Meals on Wheels’ service not being able to make it through the snow to some seniors and hoped we might be able help out. We have always felt it important to be involved in the local community and this was a great opportunity to contribute.”
The Woodside residents were surprised on 5th February with a hot lunch of Shepherd’s pie and fresh vegetables followed by chocolate bread and butter pudding and cream. ‘Eatlunch’ supplied all the food and it was prepared on-site by their Head Chef, Dan Kempson.
Programme presenter, Gaby Roslin and celebrity chef Nancy Lam were on hand to ensure that proceedings went with a swing. Russ Pinder entertained everyone after lunch with a selection of all the old songs which were popular at the time of the Second World War.
Barbara Carpenter, Scheme Manager at Woodside said, “It really was a great fun day, very unexpected and much appreciated by everyone. It cheered up a very dull day and made a real difference. It was good to see everyone working together to give our residents this special day.”
