“What do they win?” You ask! Well it’s very simple, they will walk away with 50% of the total sign up and the other will be used for us to continue what we are doing supporting and providing for our local community.
So if we were to have 100 people sign up then you’d have the chance to walk away with ยฃ250.

Obviously the amount you can walk away with is entirely dependent on how many people sign up so please for just ยฃ5 you can support a great cause and be in for a chance to win huge cash prizes!

I was so blessed to receive my Warrant of appointment for my MBE this month.ย
A reminder of how truly honoured I am to have such an incredible accolade.ย
We were kindly given the opportunity to do a โtrolley dashโ today at Premier of Hinchingbrooke – courtesy of Snappy Shopper
ย
They gave us 60 seconds to get as much as we could for our organisation and our lovely volunteer James did a fantastic job!!
We collected and donated hundreds of eggs to people across the community this Easter!
I have been waiting a while to post this!
Promised myself I wouldnโt cry. But all Iโve done is cry with pure joy, overwhelming emotion and shock!
I have had some incredible awards, honours and commendations for the work I do but I think this is the peak of them all.
I have been made an MBE!!
The King has now publicly announced his honours list and in 2026 I will have the privilege of being presented my MBE.
I say it all the time, but I truly mean it. I donโt do it for reward or anything in return. I do it to make a difference to peopleโs lives.
I am just an ordinary person trying to make an extraordinary difference to both people and the planet.
I have never and will never let my own physical restrictions and battles prevent me for making a difference in this world.
I want to be the light at the end of a dark tunnel, the hand up people need and the support people need when they feel like they canโt go on.
I am so utterly blessed to have the most incredible team behind me. A team that echoโs my dreams and ambition, that follows my crazy ideas and most importantly supports me throughout.
My entire team are the most incredible people Iโve ever had the privilege of working alongside.
My family, my friends, my children and my incredible better half of me – Ewan. You are my everything and without your endless support, love and belief in me, I simply couldnโt do it.
Ewan especially – you always believe in me, always hold me up, youre always so proud of me and I am so utterly blessed to have you in my life. I love you so much more than youโll ever realise.
This is all beyond what I could ever have dreamed!

Allotment Update!
ย
We are making steady progress at our allotment! Can you spare any time in the week and can maybe offer some support to get our community garden flourishing!ย
This BRAND NEW project will enable residents on referral to grow their own food, promoting healthier eating habits and reducing food costs.
By growing their own produce, residents can improve their diets with fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, directly impacting public health.
The use of sustainable farming practices in these allotments can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with food production. This project encourages composting, water conservation, and the use of organic pest control, contributing to biodiversity and a healthier local ecosystem.
Together we can cultivate a healthier, more self-reliant, and environmentally conscious community.
April
Just like many others, April was hugely successful in terms of the support we could offer and the people we managed to help.
We supplied 4,767 meals to people through our food hampers across the wider community.
We have rescued 12.3 tonnes of food waste, which has generated approximately 29,151 meals! This is through our redirected waste in our Pantry store!
We saved a whopping 20,910kg (PPM) of Co2!
We prevented a whopping ยฃ9,840 worth of food from rotting in landfill!
We have helped 13 families improve their situations, by finding longer term solutions to shape brighter and more sustainable futures.
We continue to help eliminate the need for food aid and strive to live in a world where EVERYONE can afford to shop and live independent
โHunger doesn't take a day off, so neither do weโ
