Memory Mondays: Picnic Lunches & Ready Meals 💜🍴
This week, we’re shining a light on two of the incredibly important food projects we run to support families staying on Piam Brown Ward, our Wednesday Picnic Lunches and Thursday Ready Meals ✨
Every Wednesday, we provide picnic lunches for all the children and families on the ward, filled with tasty sandwiches, snacks, drinks and treats. Hospital life can be overwhelming, and something as simple as leaving the ward to organise lunch can add extra stress to an already difficult day.
These weekly picnic deliveries not only make sure families are eating well, but also give our Family Support Workers the chance to spend time with families and find out exactly what they would like and need 💜
One of the most important parts of this project is making sure we cater for all dietary requirements and preferences, something that can often be difficult for families to manage while in hospital. We want everyone to feel included and cared for.
On Thursdays, we also provide a wide range of frozen ready meals from COOK 🍲 These meals are available in the Abby’s Heroes fridge for families to grab whenever they get the chance to eat, helping to fit around long days, appointments and hospital routines.
With lots of different meal options and dietary requirements catered for, these ready meals offer comfort, convenience and one less thing for families to worry about 💜
Both of these projects make a huge difference in helping families feel supported, cared for and properly looked after during their time on the ward ✨
