Care Catering in the South West of England

As well as the Chair of the South West Region, I am currently Executive Head Chef for St Monica Trust, where I oversee all our care homes and manage the head office site at Cote Lane in Bristol.

The NACC South West Region main focus this year is to attract front line workers as members for example care teams and to bridge the gap between care and catering teams. We would welcome smaller care homes and staff to be members and to share knowledge at our regional meetings.

This year’s Care Chef competition is fantastic and we had the most entries in the south west so I am sure it was hard to select the shortlist, once again the food was of a fantastic standard.

We welcome new members, if you would like to find out more about becoming a member of the South East Region or the Events we hold, please feel free to contact us.

Meels on Wheels 2019 Press Release

The NACC launches social media campaign to spotlight the life-enhancing value of Meals on Wheels - #morethanjustameal

For Meals on Wheels Week 2019 (4-8 November), the National Association of Care Catering (NACC) will be using social media to spotlight the many essential, life-enhancing roles the Meals on Wheels service plays in communities across the UK.

Through customer testimonies and eye-opening facts and statistics, the #morethanjustameal campaign will clearly demonstrate the positive impact the Meals on Wheels service has on the elderly and vulnerable living independently in the community – from helping prevent malnutrition and malnutrition-related illnesses to providing a crucial lifeline against isolation and loneliness. It will also give effective pointers on spotting the warning signs of malnutrition.
