Tilda joined the Food Foundation’s Peas Please team in June 2022 as a Citizen Engagement Officer, to support the Veg Advocates to deliver local initiatives that drive up veg consumption. After graduating, her passion for food and people led her to volunteer at a local youth group, where she was cooking and creating games for teenagers. She went on to work for a range of NGOs, where she was advocating for young people facing challenges in the care, asylum and criminal justice systems. Throughout this work, Tilda became passionate about the power of people and grassroots organisations to change systems. In her free time Tilda loves to swim, chat, cook and eat.

I have been working for Community Intercultural Programme, specifically, Oasis Youth,  for over 5 years. This involves engaging primarily with black and minority ethnic young people to educate them on issues relevant to them, equipping them with the skills needed to succeed in life and empower them to fulfil their potential. Food poverty and insecurity in our community is a massive issue and we are passionate about doing whatever we can to combat this in sustainable ways whether that’s through food packs for families or cooking and budgeting programmes for our young people.
