Family dinners
Family dinners are the highlight of our House calendar. After spending many hard and emotionally exhausting days at their child’s hospital bedside, cooking dinner is often the last thing parents feel like doing. Our weekly home cooked meals all prepared by our wonderful House volunteers are a welcome treat for families.
Our volunteer cooks do a brilliant job of preparing delicious and nutritious meals that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.
The Family Dinner programme is generously supported by Tegel Foods and the Mad Butcher Point Chevalier, who supply all the meat and chicken for our volunteers to cook.
