The Annual C-B £1-a-day Challenge · 8 December 2025

Mary’s Meals is a global movement that sets up school feeding programmes in communities where poverty and hunger prevent children from gaining an education. The charity now feeds more than three million children every school day and it costs just £19.15/€22.00 to feed a child for a year.

Story

Every year the C-B's spend one week living on £1-a-day each. This year there are only TWO people in the C-B house. So ... no economies of scale. All food £2-a-day. We're not allowed to use anything from the cupboards except salt and pepper. No one's allowed to slip us a biscuit or similar. We've got lentils. We've got white rice. We've got marge. We've got some tea bags. We're off.
