Suggest a Diner
If you know an older person who might benefit from a home-cooked meal delivered to them by a friendly neighbour, tell them about Casserole Club then let us know.
The beginning of a beautiful friendship
Robert and Jess really enjoy their weekly visits and Jess often stays for a chat and to exchange stories. As film buff Robert said when they first met “this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship".

Building a safe community
We keep in touch with our Diners
Our Diners are important to us and we take extra care to make sure they feel safe and comfortable with the food and company they are receiving from their Cook. We check in with Diners over the phone and always tell them about a new Cook before we introduce them.
We check our Cooks
Before our volunteers become Casserole Cooks they go through a safeguarding process that includes a food safety quiz and a police records check (free to volunteers). We also keep in contact with them to see that everything is going ok with their Diner.
We need your help
We know that potential Diners can get upset if they get a call that they aren’t expecting. Help them (and us) by telling them about Casserole before you refer them. Even if Diners aren’t sure they want to join, we can still have a chat and answer any questions they may have over the phone.
Some of our Cooks
I joined the Casserole Club as I realised it matched my love of cooking with being able to help someone else. I've had great fun trying out new recipes to share. I've made a real friend.
