This online map is completely free to use and is designed to help individuals across the UK easily find Meals on Wheels services. 

How can this map benefit you?

Bristol University have created this map with several audiences in mind, and encourage you to explore how it can best support your needs.

For adults in the UK considering Meals on Wheels, their carers, and the wider public:

Use the map to find providers that deliver directly to your area and access valuable information on the services available.

For Meals on Wheels providers, health and social care professionals, commissioners, and policymakers:

The map serves as a hub for information, helping you connect with other providers, refer adults to services, and make data-driven decisions to improve service delivery.

Specific ways the map can support your work:

  • Adults with care and support needs can find providers who can deliver meals to their home.
  • Carers can find Meals on Wheels services for the adults they care for.
  • Healthcare, social care, and social work professionals can easily find Meals on Wheels services to refer adults to.
  • Meals on Wheels providers can also connect with other providers, exchange good practices, and build a stronger network.
  • Commissioners and policymakers can identify gaps in provision and use the map to inform decision-making for service enhancements.

The Meals on Wheels UK website also has a wealth of information and resources relating to Meals on Wheels, which they invite you to explore free of charge.
