Where it began..
Swansea Meals on Wheels first meal was cooked at Swansea Bowling Club on 5 November 1973 at a cost of 40c, which consisted of Meat Curry, Mashed Potato, Carrots & Peas. SMOW started with a handful of volunteers who serviced about 30 members of the community.
Today more than over 100 people from Pelican / Blacksmiths to the south of Swansea Bridge, including Caves Beach, Catherine Hill Bay and Nord's Wharf all have their meals delivered to them by our team of volunteers Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
About us
Our organisation has about 120 dedicated volunteers that work from our kitchen in Swansea 3-4 days a week. Our volunteers consist of Board and Committee members, kitchen hands, Cooks, Drivers and Meal Runners.
Our meals are prepared and delivered by our amazing team of Volunteers in their own cars, often by a team of two people - a driver and a meal runner.
Swansea Meals on Wheels supports and enables frail, elderly, young people with disabilities and their carers or simply no longer able to cook a meal for to remain in their own home and enjoy a level of independence and style of living to suit their individual needs.
Swansea Meals on Wheels is not just about cooking and delivery of a meal. All our meals are made with love! Our volunteers provide social interaction and a friendly chat, which is just as important as the meal we provide and the chat
