FoodCycle

community meals nourish people with good food and conversation. Local volunteers serve up free, wholesome meals made from food that would have gone to waste, alleviating loneliness and hunger, food poverty and food waste.聽

Meet Younis

Meet Younis
Younis doesn鈥檛 have access to cooking facilities or a fridge to store fresh food, so FoodCycle has been a lifesaver for him. The weekly community meals give him access to a cooked, healthy meal that he wouldn鈥檛 otherwise have.

Nourishing Communities

Nourishing Communities
Free and open to everyone, it鈥檚 about more than what鈥檚 on the plate. FoodCycle community meals create a space where guests and volunteers can eat, chat, connect and feel part of something.聽 聽

Supporting People and Planet

Supporting People and Planet
By offering vegetarian meals made from surplus, FoodCycle community meals create a cycle of positive change, reducing food waste and food poverty, tackling loneliness, supporting mental health and encouraging healthy eating and sustainable living.聽
