Meals from the Heart Volunteering in London
RMH LONDON & FAMILY ROOM

Dinner Group Volunteering


Did you know that nutrition such as complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats are essential for sustained cognitive function? It impacts concentration and problem-solving skills and closely correlates to decision-making and energy levels.

At RMHC-SWO, the important nutritional needs we must consider on a daily basis include those of postpartum mothers, chemotherapy cravings, teenage eating disorders, and grab-and-go high-density nutrition that fits in a caregiver's pocket.

Our families require the energy and clarity to understand medical conversations and make informed bedside decisions when caring for their sick or injured children. Our Meals from the Heart program remains focused on giving sick children what they need most—their families at their best.

This is where you can help. 

With the support of our in-house Nutrition & Wellness Team, we'll guide you in creating meals for our families. It’s easy to sign up for your mission experience to help us in Keeping Families Close:
