The Pop-Up Soup Kitchen are working with Age UK Isle of Wight to support patients in returning to their homes in these unprecedented times.
Age UK Isle of Wight’s St Mary’s Hospital Living Well Team are working hard up at the hospital everyday providing vital support with hospital discharges. The team enable those who don’t have a support system in place to return to their own homes safe and shielded.
The Living Well Team not only help to minimise the risk of further contamination for residents but also help to support the Isle of Wight NHS by freeing crucial beds in their time of need.
The Pop-Up Soup Kitchen’s team, who are well known for their amazing efforts of providing wholesome and nutritious food to those in need, have been working tirelessly to aid in the required home support for those without friends or family by distributing vital meals and essentials, using contactless delivery, across the Island.
Trevor Blaney, from the Pop-Up Soup Kitchen said:
“We would like to thank all at Age UK Isle of Wight for making it so easy to be able to bring this service to their clients.
Each delivery consists of 3 meals and extras. This week’s menu consists of Roast Sausages and Onion, Rosemary Mash, and Smokey Beans; Warming Roast Tomato Soup and Slightly Spiced Pumpkin or Pea and Ham. Extras include IOW Cheese and Crackers; Rustic Bread Butter Portions and Orange Juice”.
Jo Dare, CEO of Age UK, says:
“We are so pleased that this is working well. The benefits are many and the menu sounds delicious! In these difficult times it is one less thing for those returning home after a stay in hospital to worry about and we know that good, nutritious food can only help their continued recovery”.
Would be better not to deliver soup in carrier bags, as sometimes they have holes in them. Otherwise a great idea
