Meals on Wheels

The Meals on Wheels Service will end on 31 March 2018

A replacement Meals on Wheels Service is not being provided. From 1 April alternative arrangements will be required if people continue to need access to hot, nutritious meals on a regular basis.

Why the service is ending

For many years the Royal Voluntary Service (formerly the WRVS) has been contracted by Moray Council to deliver the Meals on Wheels Service to people in their own homes and has done this using its local volunteers.

The Royal Voluntary Service decided not to continue providing the service when the current contract runs out at the end of this financial year. This decision was part of a national policy change by the organisation.

What is happening next

We are working with people who currently receive the service to consider alternative arrangements and the support they may need.
