Provide meals and social contact to adults who cannot leave their home to shop for food or prepare their own meals. The website provides a central information list of Meals on Wheels services in the UK by postcode search

Many providers in the UK have no criteria for who can access Meals on Wheels. The service can be used by anyone who has a need for a meal and who cannot leave their home to get the ingredients and prepare the meal themselves due to a physical or mental condition or disability. Usually, for these providers, the person interested in accessing the service can ‘self-refer’, or the referral can be made by a family member, neighbour or friend, a GP or nurse, a social worker, or a hospital discharge team.

Some providers do have eligibility criteria, that are usually reported on their websites. These criteria might have to do with someone's age, health, or living conditions. Often, referral to Meals on Wheels in this case is made by a health care professional or a principal social worker, following a needs assessment.

KCSC currently manage two Social Prescribing self-care schemes and a Directory:

My Care My Way

Healthier Futures North Kensington

Social prescribing works alongside and supports traditional medical interventions by linking people up to voluntary and community groups and other non-clinical services. Social prescribing is a way to help people make positive changes in their lives by giving them the knowledge, skills and the confidence to do so. Self-Care is intentionally taking time to care for your physical, mental and emotional health.

My Care My Way

My Care My Way is a programme for those over 65 with a long-term condition registered with a GP in Kensington & Chelsea, Queens Park or Paddington.

GPs identify patients who might benefit from the programme, and these patients are then managed by a Health & Social Prescribing Coordinator. The coordinator helps find suitable support and conducts regular health checks. KCSC manages the self-care element of this programme (taking referrals from HSPCs and Case Managers): https://www.kcsc.org.uk/my-care-my-way-self-care-0

Self-Care Directory

The Social Prescribing (Self-Care) directory lists local community services that residents can access to support their health and well-being: https://www.kcsc.org.uk/self-care-directory

Healthier Futures (North Kensington)

Healthier Futures is dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of North Kensington residents affected by the Grenfell Tower fire: https://www.kcsc.org.uk/page/healthier-futures-north-kensington

When may it be appropriate to consider a short term oral nutritional supplement prescription? 

# data[].attributes.body
Follow local prescribing guidelines which include: · The person meets ACBS Criteria for that specific product to be prescribed (found in the drug tariff and usually involves evidence of a disease/disorder/medical condition causing malnutrition)

AND ONE of the following to criteria can be evidenced:

1. The person is at high risk of malnutrition AND evidence suggests that they/carer is unable to prepare homemade or OTC supplements (this should be a interim measure until appropriate social care support is in place)

OR

2. The person is at high risk of malnutrition AND is not meeting treatment goal(s) after 1 month of food-based treatment AND either homemade or OTC supplements AND evidence suggests that they are more likely to take a therapeutic dose (twice a day) of prescribed ONS compared with homemade or OTC supplements

Please note:

•  Dietitians may occasionally request an ONS prescription when either 1 or 2 is not applicable, but in this case the dietitian must provide detailed clinical justification for their request

•  The prescriber may decline to prescribe ONS if the prescribing guidance has not been followed

•  Prescriptions of ONS are intended to be a short-term treatment (less than 12 weeks)

*This pathway may not be appropriate if the person has very specialist requirements. They would usually be already known to specialist dietetics and so please support the implementation of the existing dietetic care plan (for example those with end stage renal failure)*

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a light on the plight of many older and vulnerable individuals across the country. Through our work in the community, we know that many people were experiencing symptoms of loneliness long before the crisis, and now find themselves in greater need of companionship than ever before. To tackle growing levels of social isolation in the community, we are offering a hybrid befriending service of face-to-face and telephone befriending. Through the programme, older people receive comfort, conversation and companionship by way of a weekly in-person home visits or a telephone call from a volunteer.

Since we launched the service in April, we have been humbled by the outpouring of ﻿support we have received. If you could spare just one hour a week to brighten the life of an older person, please fill out our volunteer application form here.
