We don't usually need an incentive to drive a highly decorated car around the highways and byways of Europe in search for those ambiguous clues or to film our team portraying some scene that we have been set in the set of rules for the day (whilst being highly decorated ourselves) but we have a good one this year.

Our worthy cause this time around is the Food With Love Project - founded by travel's inimitable Mariam Sajjad. She runs the charity with the passion and enthusiasm she provides every day to the travel agents and tour operators she meets in her day job with Typically Holidays. It goes way beyond the reason for starting the Project, dedicating to improving the lives of vulnerable residents in the London Borough of Hounslow - to involving so many of the community that a whole new era of community togetherness has evolved.

Their aim is to provide real-time support for vulnerable residents that enhances their social and emotional well-being, enabling them to maintain their independence and remain in their homes for longer.

The Food With Love project represents an ambition to connect even more profoundly with those we serve; casting wider nets of warmth and kindness.

Community Kitchen - Food with Love has developed in the heart of the London Borough of Hounslow as a response to feed the most vulnerable in the community; in particular those who are unable to access walk up food collections due to ill health or old age or any disability.

Community Pantry - The Food with Love Community Pantry is a community food club, run by and for its members offering good quality, healthy and nutritious food through low cost membership.

Community Development - Through The Food with Love Project; the wider community weaves a tapestry of care. From collecting surplus food to giving young volunteers a platform for service and compassion; we ensure everyone feels intrinsically involved and valued.

Education & Training - By partnering with other community programs; we amplify our positive impact and further integrate ourselves into the community fabric. In essence; The Food with Love Project isn't just a service—it's a community-driven beacon.

By fostering collective responsibility and connection; we're ensuring that every community member feels an integral; valued part of our vibrant Hounslow tapestry.
