The long winter months can be hard for everyone, but those who are more vulnerable are often hit the hardest. We asked our guests how FoodCycle helps them out in the colder months. Here’s what they said:

❤️ 100 Community Meals ❤️ Last week, we celebrated something truly special: the opening of our 100th FoodCycle project in Reading That’s 100 communities where people come together for more than just food. It’s a warm seat at the table, a compassionate ear, a space to share stories, and the comfort of endless cups of tea. We couldn’t be prouder of our incredible staff and volunteers who made this possible. Week-in week-out, they show up for the people in their communities who need us most. Thank you 👏🥕

This #WorldKindnessDay, we want to remind you that FoodCycle is so much more than the food we serve—it’s about connection, compassion, and community. At FoodCycle, we’re building communities, sharing laughter, and creating a welcoming space where everyone belongs. When a guest walks through our doors, we may not know their story, but our volunteers welcome each person with open arms, treating everyone with warmth, kindness, and respect. Thanks to the generosity of our volunteers, people can find more than a meal here—they find community. #FoodCycle

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we're highlighting the impact of community dining, not just on our guests, but for our volunteers who give their time to make our meals possible. Volunteering is about so much more than cooking and serving food, it's a chance to find a sense of purpose and build real connections. Community is everything and having a place to go each week, where you can meet and spend time with like-minded people is so valuable to many of our volunteers. In a world where it's easy to feel disconnected, these shared moments of kindness and connection can make all the difference. This World Mental Health Day, we want to thank our volunteers for creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and cared for. Join us today 🥦 link in our bio

Now that's what you call a showstopper! 🍰🤩 To celebrate our 15th anniversary, we partnered with Great British Bake Off star and @procookuk's Food Expert, @spongecakesquaretin, who baked a stunning vegetable-themed cake for our community meal in Luton. As part of our collaboration with ProCook, Steven joined us to share the cake with over 70 amazing guests and volunteers. Before the cake was served, everyone enjoyed a meal of hearty winter vegetable soup followed by baked potatoes topped with vegetable chilli con carne and cheese, all made from surplus food. Speaking about our community meals, Steven said, "What FoodCycle is doing is truly extraordinary, and it wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and generosity of the volunteers. I encourage everyone to get involved." A massive thank you to Steven – you're welcome back anytime! ❤️

🍰 We’re celebrating 15 amazing years of FoodCycle this month! 🍰 It all began with the incredible Kelvin, our founder and very first volunteer. Since then, he’s inspired thousands of others to join in. Last year alone, 5,849 dedicated volunteers served 83 communities across the UK, saving 239 tonnes of food from going to waste! We’ve come such a long way since Kelvin first founded FoodCycle, and this month, we’re taking a moment to celebrate all the incredible people who have been part of our journey. So today, let's give it up for Kelvin. The food we've saved, the friendships we've made and the brews we've drank are all down to him. 👏 #15YearsOfFoodCycle

**Community meal updates** Due to the recent riots, some of our community meals may not be running this week. As a charity whose aim is to bring people from all communities together, we are saddened to see these targeted attacks and reject any racism, violence and discrimination of any kind. We will continue to work closely with our volunteers, staff and guests to help them feel safe and supported. If you are planning to attend a meal this week, please double check the location page on our website for any updates. If a meal is cancelled we will contact guests and volunteers via email or text. We will do everything we can to run as normal but the safety of our guests and volunteers is paramount.
