Well-Fed doing great things

Published: 22/04/2020

Well-Fed is a partnership between Flintshire County Council (FCC), Clwyd Alyn and Can Cook – it’s a food company dedicated to feeding everyone well.

When hungry and when it’s necessary to fend off life-threatening viruses, people require a healthy diet; a diet able to satisfy their hunger and a diet that will support their immune system.

Last week, Well-Fed delivered 3000 meals, 200 slow cooker bags and over 100 safety boxes to hundreds of vulnerable households in Flintshire free of charge. Every week for the next 12 weeks, Well-Fed will do the same - ensuring that residents in difficulty, residents who are self- isolating and unable to get out and residents of our night shelter will receive good, fresh food.

The Well-Fed service is best described as Meals on Wheels re-imagined. Working very closely with FCC staff, the service provides a choice of good quality, additive free, fresh food using locally sourced, sustainable produce.  The Well-Fed mission is to “connect people through good food”, so they are using their operations to feed residents in care and during Covid 19, feed those in isolation and food poverty. Such is the scale and substance of the Well-Fed Covid response, it is unique to the UK.
