Royal Voluntary Service is ending its Meals on Wheels service in Suffolk and a local charity, Aspect Living Foundation, taking over the meals delivery service.Following a review of its Meals on Wheels service, Royal Voluntary Service, has taken the difficult decision to end the service. 

We are delighted that Aspect Living Foundation, a local charity, will be taking over the service from the beginning of May 2018. We will be working with them to ensure a smooth transition and we wish them every success in delivering the new service. "Our volunteers and staff have worked tremendously hard at the service for many years and we know that their efforts have been hugely appreciated. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for everything they have done." 

Tess Aristodemou, Chief Executive at Aspect Living Foundation said: "Having worked with Royal Voluntary Service and the meals on wheels team it quickly became apparent how vital this service is to the elderly and vulnerable people around Suffolk, so together with a robust panel of local Trustees with the same passion and commitment for this service we have established the new charity Aspect Living Foundation" "Meals on Wheels is not just a service, to many it's a lifeline, the amazing team of delivery drivers not only deliver a nutritious meal they complete a 'health and well-being' check which on many occasions has alerted next of kin or the emergency services to any potential issues" "We are delighted to be able to continue the amazing work that Royal Voluntary Service have provided over the years and expand the service in the aim to help as many people as we can to stay independent in their own homes"
