Together against loneliness
Bringing older people and young volunteers together to make soup.
The best recipe against loneliness
Grandma’s Soup is on a mission to fight loneliness among older people by bringing generations together through soup.
Through the Grandma’s Soup Foundation, we organise weekly Cooking Days, Soup-at-Home Visits and special events where younger and older people cook together, share stories and build real connections.

Want to get involved?
Every week our team of volunteers provide older people with precious moments of fun and connection, which boost mental and physical health. The more volunteers we get, the more people we can help. Simple!
