Love Food Give Food competition time

Love Food Give Food is a fabulous campaign running from the 1st of September to the end of November encouraging people to take action against child hunger.The Government has promised to match pound for pound all public donations made this year.

How shocking is it to learn that just £1 a day can help to provide an acutely malnourished child with the care they need to survive. A gift of £36 is enough to take a child back from the brink of starvation to full health, in just a few short weeks. So if you give £1 you will be helping two children thanks to the Government's promise.

If you wish to donate you can go here and click on the big red button!

As part of this year's campaign Love Food Give Food are hosting a fabulous food/Instagram competition, sounds perfect doesn't it?
