Elderly people living in our community have been hit incredibly hard by the current global pandemic. That’s why we have partnered with Home Instead a local organisation who provide care for elderly people who live at home in Frodsham, Runcorn and Widnes. We’ve asked young people to get involved in our community ‘Recipe Swap’ project and brighten up the lives of isolated members of our community. The project is being led by our ADC for Community Impact, Ali Wheeler.

We’re encouraging young people and their sections to submit a short 2 min video of a recipe that’s important to them or their family. Home Instead will then carry out the same process with some of their residents and organise for the recipes to be swapped by putting a film together, returning the full film for groups to share with your sections either via social media or in your virtual meetings.

At what is a very lonely time for an already isolated group of people, we think this is a really easy and meaningful way that we can connect our young people with the older generation. 

We’re hoping to compile the video by Mid April so would appreciate videos from young people and leaders by the end of March.
