If you’re looking for a filming location, our warehouses are hives of activity and present a unique chance to show the fight against hunger and food waste in action.
Our media team is able to help with media and marketing enquiries only. If you are an individual in need of food, please click here and/or if you are a family or care for children in need of food please visit the End Child Food Poverty website.
As a small team with limited resource we are unable to help students with essays, journalism or research projects. You can find more information about our work here. Alternatively, if you’d like to see the difference we make first-hand, you can volunteer.
