The reason why I decided to become a Young Food Ambassador is so I can be apart of changing our nation’s health by inciting change to our flawed food system especially in more affected areas that cheapen the food quality. 

Before joining, Lucy worked in London’s largest food redistribution charity – The Felix Project – managing a capital-wide volunteer programme with 1,000s of volunteers. She also set up and developed Felix’s equity, diversity and inclusion work, and feels passionately about advocating for social justice both within and outside the workplace. Lucy is an avid volunteer (especially when food is involved)! While completing a MA in Gender & Development at the Institute of Development Studies, she started a healthy eating programme at youth homelessness day centre. This time cemented her understanding of the social inequities surrounding access to nutritious food in the UK.

I’m a mum of 2 children under 2. I live in Cornwall. I want to dedicate my free time as a Food Ambassador because I know firsthand how much of a struggle it is to be able to afford formula milk, fruit and veg, not for 1 baby, but for 2, to push through and put others first and go without.  

Hello! This is Glory Omoaka, a mum of two, an activist and an agent of change who has sat at a roundtable and kitchen table with politicians, local authorities, community members and charities organisations especially refugee-led organisations to accelerate changes in the things that matters to us all as a community and  society in general. I work in the healthcare sector because of my passion to help the vulnerable. I have used my lived experience and my voice to contribute to changes.  

Finally, because I love cooking, and healthy food that is acceptable, available and affordable, I have decided to join other Food Ambassadors to challenge or contribute to policies that will ensure a sustainable food system that is delivered in a dignified manner.
