Project Leader, Calum, has given over 192 hours to FoodCycle Liverpool, helping it to become a project full of heart. We asked him how it feels to have given so much time, what his most memorable moment has been and what he gets up to when he isn't being a fantastic FoodCycler?
I managed to hit Tesco after, but only to get the first half of our weeks food, with toiletries. I wanted to get some more food, but the Tesco I had managed to get to had decided that it was sold out of their value range in almost everything. We’ll have to hit ASDA tomorrow.
We are pleased to announce that Stephen Catling, currently a Trustee at FoodCycle, will succeed Penny Daly as Chair of the Trustee Board in September 2018.
I have made it to the end of the challenge, for many people this will be an ongoing weekly challenge to feed themselves and their families. I have just enough food to make meals and eat for my last day.

The bran flakes were a bargain and have added a welcome crunch to my meals.

Beverley is taking our Holiday Hunger Challenge in the first week of July. She will be living off a food and drink budget of just £2.50 a day to raise awareness of food poverty in the UK, especially during the school holidays which can push many families into food insecurity and poverty.
