To celebrate @NACCCaterCare #MealsOnWheelsWeek, The Duchess of Cornwall has made a video call to @thebevy community owned pub in Brighton to speak to their Chatterboxes support group for elderly people isolated by the pandemic.

The Bevy launched its Meals on Wheels service earlier this year in response to the Covid-19 crisis, delivering more than 6000 meals to vulnerable residents, as well as providing socially distanced chats and running errands for those unable to leave home. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👋" title="Waving hand" aria-label="Emoji: Waving hand"> https://twitter.com/thebevy/status/1323703101946241025">https://twitter.com/thebevy/s...

After an introduction from Sue Cawthray, National Chair of NACC, HRH spoke to Chris Llewellyn, Chair, and Helen Jones, Manager, of the Bevy to learn how they had supported their community during the COVID-19 crisis.

HRH then took a virtual tour around the pub, meeting Chatterboxes’ participants and Meals on Wheels recipients, including Terry, 85, and Louisa, 94, who discussed her love of gardening with The Duchess. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">

After the call, the Chatterboxes finished off their lunch with a special delivery from the Clarence House kitchens! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍰" title="Teekuchen" aria-label="Emoji: Teekuchen">
