Giorgio Locatelli

Patron

Giorgio Locatelli is a Michelin-starred chef and author who has been involved with FoodCycle since early 2012 after visiting one of our Projects in North London and seeing what we do first-hand.

“Throwing food away is the worst way of wasting money which is something we really can’t afford unless we are blind to the food poverty that surrounds us here, in the UK and in our very neighbourhoods – not just in other countries. If I can do anything to promote awareness about the food wastage issue then I will do it as FoodCycle is a worthy cause.”

Danilo Cortellini

Patron

Danilo is Head Chef at The Italian Embassy and became Patron for FoodCycle having volunteered at one of the Projects. He has since supported numerous campaigns, including cooking additional meals to be delivered to FoodCycle guests in Hackney and Marylebone, as part of the temporary delivery service.

“FoodCycle is very close to my heart and we share the same values coming from a very humble family where mealtimes were always spent together and where nothing went to waste; over-ripe fruit became marmalade, cheese crusts went into soups, and old eggs became custard. After working for so long in the industry, I’ve seen first-hand the amount of food that’s wasted. What FoodCycle does with waste and surplus food, combining it with volunteers who cater for those often forgotten or isolated, is something which can only be applauded and I have been a passionate supporter since 2016.”

Patron

Jack Thorne is an award-winning television producer known for Shameless, Skins, This is England and most recently, Help. Jack is also a passionate advocate for the disabled community in the dramatic arts. He was introduced to FoodCycle’s work in December 2020, when both parties were involved in The Old Vic’s much-acclaimed stage production of A Christmas Carol.

“What a beautiful thing FoodCycle has made. I was lucky enough to join the volunteers at FoodCycle Islington recently and I was really touched by everything it was and the way everyone clearly needed it.  And the food was delicious and healthy.”

Vicky Pattison

Ambassador

Television and media star, Vicky was first introduced to FoodCycle through the Christmas Meal Appeal with our corporate partner Just Eat. Having visited a Project as part of the campaign and meeting some of our guests Vicky was keen to do more.  She has since helped raise awareness of our work and volunteered at our Walker Project which is close to where she grew up.

“FoodCycle is absolutely incredible, and I feel very proud to be an ambassador and support their work. I feel like now, more so than ever it’s important that anyone who can, is supporting their community, whether that’s raising awareness or getting stuck in and volunteering.  You should really get down there – the volunteers whip up amazing food – I came second on Celebrity MasterChef and I couldn’t do half the stuff they do in a FoodCycle kitchen!”
