The HMR Circle Dinner Drivers Project successfully delivered 41 fresh meals in its first week.
Dinner Drivers, in partnership with The Veterans Food Company and Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH), is based on the idea of meals-on-wheels and aims to deliver a two-course meal directly to older people s doors, helping them enjoy a professionally made, nutritious meal with the bonus of staying connected to their community.
The service was set up as part of the three-year anniversary of HMR Circle last month, with a plan for lunches to be delivered to people s door weekly between 12noon and 1pm.
Recipients - aged over 50 - were treated to chicken and mixed vegetable casserole, dumplings and gravy, buttered cabbage and new potatoes, followed by a dessert of vanilla sponge and custard.
