FoodCycle

Food Cycle mission statement: We’re all volunteers, and we all like to cook. We don’t like to see food wasted, and we know that supermarkets and shops have to throw away lots of edible food every day. We know there are people going hungry because they don’t have the money, time, or equipment to cook a proper meal for themselves.

So we thought – let’s get in the middle of that, take the edible food and cook for the community. Our costs are very low, our staff are all volunteers and we like seeing people enjoy our food.












Hello,

My name is Sarah Ashworth and I am a third year photography student at Bath Spa University.

I am writing to ask about the possibility of Pukka Bath publishing a small story on the charity 'FoodCycle'.


FoodCycle is a nationally charity run organisation which meets in Bath every Wednesday at St Mary’s Catholic Church, Julian Road.

Their mission statement is that they don’t like to see food wasted, and they know that supermarkets and shops have to throw away lots of edible food every day. 
They know there are people going hungry because they don’t have the money, time, or equipment to cook a proper meal for themselves. 
So FoodCycle make a change, they take the edible food and cook for the community. 
Their costs are very low, all staff are volunteers and they like seeing people enjoy a wholesome three course meal. 


I didn't know that FoodCycle existed in Bath, even after studying here for three years, and yesterday I went for the first time to photograph how the charity works, including the cooking and serving of a three course meal to those in need. 

So I am writing to ask if it would be at all possible to use your magazine to get some much needed publicity for this very well organised and helpful charity, as it not only is a good cause but presents the City of Bath in a good light!

I have attached a selection of images that I think would be best suited to a magazine layout.

For any further details of how the charity works or any questions for me, please feel free to contact me via e-mail.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Kind Regards
