My Fellowship explored enterprising approaches to meals on wheels delivery for older people. I investigated how meals were delivered by a range of public, charitable, social enterprise and private sector organisations and how they manage to survive and thrive. This is of particular relevance to the UK, where reductions in traditional funding have led to the closure of many meals on wheels services, despite high levels of malnutrition amongst older people living in the community. There are organisations managing to buck this trend and continue to deliver or even expand their services.

Following on from my Fellowship I co-founded Sustain's Older People's Food Campaign, including a 'Home from hospital' project highlighting good practice on older people's access to food at the point of hospital discharge and beyond. I am currently co-developing a large-scale research project which would explore older and disabled people's access to food in their own homes.
