Royal Navy sailors cook up a curry meal for homeless
HOMELESS veterans were among those given a feast to remember when a kindhearted team of sailors offered to cook them a meal.
A team from Portsmouth Naval Base put on their chef aprons as they cooked a delicious two-course curry for needy people at the LifeHouse centre in Southsea.
The Albert Road-based hub, which supports homeless people and those with addiction issues, offers one breakfast and evening meal a week to feed between 20 and 40 people.
Commander Pete Vinney, who heads up the navy’s waterfront logistics support group, tasked his team to see what they could do to support the charitable effort.
After LifeHouse’s chairman of trustees Mike Morell asked, it was decided the squad of charitable sailors could offer a second weekday evening meal – an opportunity which the team relished.
The centre’s kitchen is manned by volunteers.
