Young volunteers are stepping up to help Meals on Wheels deliver food to the vulnerable, allowing its older regular volunteers to cocoon.

The service in Faranree which delivers 60 hot meals to homes in the north of Cork city each week has seen a jump from five to 24 volunteers since it registered with Cork Volunteer Centre for extra help through the coronavirus pandemic.
