  Vital Meals is a London-based initiative, born from Covid-19, with the sole purpose of supporting Londoners through good food & education. Our mission is simple and is made up of three key parts:1- We cook and deliver free nutritious meals to anyone in need. Initially feeding just the elderly and those considered ‘high-risk’, Vital Meals has expanded to feed: people at risk/vulnerable, children, families, elderly, those on Universal Credit, single parent families & the homeless (plus anyone else in need). We provide 4 meals per person per household. 2- We run cookery classes for children to arm them with confidence in a kitchen & the knowledge to cook healthy, nutritional meals for themselves & their families. We work with the Free School Meal Vouchers in mind and ensure that our weekly ingredient lists are never more than £15 (the max value of the voucher) so the children can learn to feed themselves without any additional costs to them or their families. We have a very heavy focus on health and nutrition as some of the boroughs we work within have the highest rate of child obesity in the country.3 - We run a service called Parcel to Plate, where we collect ingredients from a members home and cook these ingredients into meals for them - despite Gov food parcels having come to an end, we continue to run this service as it is a crucial for those lacking the ability or equipment to cook in the kitchen.We are a new venture, born on the 17th of March 2020, as an emergency response to the Covid-19 outbreak. In 2019 I launched The Plattery- a small scale catering business however as all of The Plattery’s business was cancelled due to Covid-19, I decided to launch Vital Meals. I noticed a real need for the service within my community that was heightened by Covid. We started our journey cooking just 10 meals a day from our my home in Battersea, and have quickly grown to providing over 1,000 meals a week - fast approaching 15,000 meals in total - across London.
