The impact of your support

I have a serious mental health condition which is managed with medication but means I am unable to work. I’m on benefits and do struggle with money. FoodCycle is a wonderful thing. It’s been completely life-changing for me. I struggle to socialise with people. I didn’t have any friends at all, and now I’ve got loads of friends. If I’m having a bad week, I look forward to FoodCycle. My health trainer thinks it’s helped improve my cholesterol levels as well. There’s all sorts of benefits. I think it’s a wonderful thing and long may it continue.
