Being a single mother of 2 on benefits, I've always been ardent about joining any cause to do with providing healthy affordable food for all, and where possible eradicating food poverty for good because I have seen so much of it in my lifetime, and especially during this current cost of living crisis. 

So much so, that I worked as a volunteer with for a homeless charity called Changing Lives (formerly known as The Cyrenians) helping to make up food packages in their warehouse to distribute to other projects or causes of a similar nature. 

I am also in the process of setting up a charity in the area where I live, which will seek to address some of the underlying causes of food poverty and insecurity by having a food pantry on site, which will provide the local community with fresh, sustainable, healthy, affordable food.
