Health & Independent Living Support (HILS), the UK’s largest provider of meals on wheels, is delivering meals to over 2,936 people over the next week across Hampshire, Hertfordshire and West Sussex, alongside a wellbeing check with every Meals on Wheels delivery.
Higher temperatures can pose serious health risks for older adults, those with long-term conditions and people who are socially isolated.
Health & Independent Living Support is helping people stay hydrated over the heatwave.
