This week, Gifford Community Council trialled their new 'Soup and a Smile' delivery. Our volunteers delivered hot lentil soup, a buttered roll and a fruit scone - all made by Lanterne Rouge Legend Nicola Goddard - to households where there is an older resident living alone. It's one day a week where residents will have their lunch made for them. There's no charge.
