FoodCycle (UK, 1134423) Browse events

FoodCycle builds communities by combining volunteers, surplus food and spare kitchen spaces to create nutritious meals for people at risk from food poverty and social isolation. Launched in May 2009, we now have 15 projects cooking across the country. Over 4 million people are affected by food poverty in the UK, yet we throw away millions of tonnes of perfectly edible food. To us at FoodCycle this just doesn't make sense, so our teams of amazing volunteers are doing something about it. Since 2009 we've served over 40,000 nutritious three-course meals, created out of 35,000kg of reclaimed surplus by our network of over 1000 volunteers. But there's much more we can do, and we need your help. If you can help, please donate using the right-hand sidebar. You can make a one-off donation, fundraise for us by running a marathon or hosting a dinner, or make a regular monthly donation. Thank you for your support! If you'd like to find out more about our work, please visit our website, call us on 020 7729 2775, email us on [email protected] or follow us on twitter @foodcycle.

Homes In Zimbabwe (UK, 1104512) Browse events

Homes in Zimbabwe was established in 2004 to provide funds for the maintenance of Old People's Homes in Zimbabwe. The homes then were in serious need of help on account of the economic decline and high inflation that had completely eroded their financial reserves. Today we have had to divert almost all our resources to supplying food and fuel to safeguard the very lives of the elderly of all races living in residential homes and many still living at home often alone.. The local currency is now worthless removing any buying power from all local pensions, and although food is now available, it is priced in US$'s - a currency out of reach to most pensioners.

Fishermen In Sculptural Heritage (UK, 1135142) Browse events

FISH, Fishermen in Sculptural Heritage Registered charity number 1135142, was set up in 2007 to raise money for a statue to celebrate the fishing heritage of Brixham. It is the mother port of trawling and has links with many fishing ports around the world. From the time that the famous red sails began to appear until the present day fishermen have pitted themselves against the sea to bring home the silver harvest. Tales of heroism and loss are many down through the years, from man overboard to wrecks to miraculous rescues in great storms. Fishing continues to be at the heart and mainstay of this trusty harbour town and trawler race day is one of the most public faces of this. The statue will celebrate and commemorate those who were lost or buried at sea, their families, their heritage and their home port, Brixham. The 3m bronze statue is based on an etching by Arthur Briscoe, who drew the Brixham fishermen at work in the early 1900’s from the decks, and will be sculpted by Elisabeth Hadley also of Brixham. The statue is destined for the King’s Quay where it will be seen from the inner harbour and by returning vessels
