Order Meals on Wheels online

Requesting our Meals on Wheels service is now available online

Requesting a Meals on Wheels service for yourself, or someone else, has never been easier thanks to our new, online registering service.

Even in non-Covid-19 times we know the Meals on Wheels service provides a valuable service for a lot of Fifers, nowadays it is proving invaluable. Good nutrition is crucial in helping people stay healthy and our customers can receive a hot meal, delivered directly to them, in the middle of the day.

Now it is even easier to request this service, either for yourself or someone else, by registering online at www.fife.gov.uk/mealsonwheels

Councillor Judy Hamilton, Convener of the Community and Housing Services Committee  said: “The Meals on Wheels service is an invaluable helpline for many people to make sure they get a cooked meal in the middle of the day. During these times of self-isolation, where families and friends can’t visit those who are more vulnerable, MoW can provide them with peace of mind that their loved one is still eating well.

“By bringing this service online, it is so much easier to set this up for someone you care about. It doesn’t matter if you are now separated by thousands of miles.

“The idea came about after we were contacted by a concerned relative in Australia, who wanted to set up a delivery for their elderly Fife relative. Now it’s possible for anyone to do this online, either for themselves or someone else.

“I really want to thank all those who are preparing and delivering the Meals on Wheels for their continued work  throughout the crisis, providing this lifeline for our communities."

You can get meals on wheels if you are:

  • An elderly person
  • An adult with a disability
  • An adult with a chronic illness, mental health issue or dementia
  • An adult unable to make a hot meal for themselves on a daily basis and have no other means of providing the main meal of the day on a daily basis.

This quicker process is available 24/7, with easier access, no call wait times,  and you get a confirmation email to give you peace of mind.
