Over the last few months Hospitalfield house and estate has been very quiet and we have missed the many programmes that we had to postpone or cancel which would have brought so many people to Hospitalfield.

The kitchens at Hospitalfield have been very busy. Our chef Simon has drawn together a small team of volunteer chefs to cook food for those who most need it at this difficult time. We have struck up a partnership wither Angus Council’s Children, Families and Social Justice Department who are distributing the meals and we are really grateful to the people of Arbroath who have been so responsive to the Takeaway Wednesday nights. It is the income from these Takeaway Nights that has made it possible for us to cover the cost of the free meals. We expect this to continue in to August or until the schools return.
