New project targets health inequalities among older people

A new scheme has been launched to improve diets and reduce health inequalities among older people.

The Meal Makers project will encourage people to cook an extra meal which can be given to isolated older people living in their communities. It is aimed at reducing food poverty, improving diets and breaking down the barriers that lead to loneliness.
