Edinburgh Marathon 2025 · 25 May 2025 ·

FoodCycle community meals bring people together for good food and conversation. We serve free, wholesome meals made from food that would have gone to waste, prepared by volunteers and open to everyone. Stopping loneliness and hunger, food poverty and food waste.

Story

I know what it's like to face food scarcity and isolation, which is why I volunteer as a project leader for FoodCycle.

This incredible charity rescues surplus food to create delicious meals and connect communities, feeding the hungry and bringing companionship to the lonely.

And I thought, "Hey, I really hate running, why don't I do that to raise awareness and money to feed even more people?"

Seriously, I hate running.

We invented cars and horses so that we could stop running.

If you have a friend who loves running, reconsider your friendship.

But... this cause is worth it.

£20 rescues 2 tonnes of food, equivalent to 4,700 meals.

£10 provides 7 nutritious meals for guests in need.

If you can, please donate—your support genuinely feeds and uplifts people who need it most.
