Summary
Community meal services (Meals on Wheels) and lunch clubs are usually run by the local authority but may be run by other organisations such as the local religious institutions, YMCA, Women's Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS) or Age Concern. Lunch clubs are often based in local facilities, such as church halls and community centres and provide a hot meal and offer social support for older people. The clubs can also provide other services such as learning computer skills, shopping services, hair dressing etc. Some lunch clubs are subsidised by the local authority other are set up and run by non-statutory agencies and others are run entirely by volunteers.
