Peepul Centre Chairman pushed, with urgency, to start a free meals service for the vulnerable community as soon as the Lockdown was announced and Peepul Centre staff volunteers responded with a 1000 meals service on 31st March but after the April Covid peak the Chairman worried about the volunteers risk curtailed it by a quarter to be up to 750 meals, so as to manage that risk. Recently we have been increasing this level to meet the increasing demand and now with help from DEFRA we shall be providing up to 1400 such free meals for the next 7 weeks.
