Community Spotlight. Food Cycle's Social Impact Report

We are thrilled to read and share with you the incredible achievements from the latest FoodCycle annual report. FoodCycle is a UK charity, based at the Food Exchange, that combines surplus food, spare kitchen spaces and volunteers to create three-course meals for people at risk of food poverty and social isolation. 

Find out how they pivoted and adapted to the challenge of operating throughout the pandemic, as well as how they plan to return to community meals and expand in 2021. Read FoodCycle's Impact Report and find out how you can support them.

Congratulations to the wonderful Mary McGrath, FoodCycle CEO, who has been awarded an MBE this month!
