Harrogate charity launches UK's first meals on wheels loyalty scheme
A Harrogate not-for-profit organisation is launching the UK's first meals on wheel loyalty scheme to bring the service into the 21st century.
Harrogate and Ripon Food Angels has been providing meals on wheels since 2012.
A total of 120 people are signed up to receive the daily and weekly meals. A main meal costs £5.20 and £6.40 with a dessert.
Under the loyalty scheme, beginning on January 4, anyone buying 20 meals will receive a free teatime treat.
The treat options include a sandwich, soup and crisps, a slice of cake and a pack of tea bags.
Harrogate and Ripon Food Angels is part of Harrogate Neighbours, a charity that provides services for older people.
Sue Cawthray, chief executive of Harrogate Neighbours, said:
