Annual General Meeting (2025)
Exciting News from Food2Think! It was a pleasure chairing our latest AGM with our small but fantastic group of trustees –#Food2Think. We celebrated a year of success and agreed and submitted our financial reports to the Charity Commission, ensuring we continue our transparency and accountability journey. We’ve also expanded our reach by taking on a second school in Nepal, furthering our mission to support children’s education in Nepal through nutrition and well-being initiatives. It is also great to welcome Steve Trenchard and Clare Trenchard as new trustees, whose expertise and passion will drive this small charity forward. The upcoming year is filled with exciting plans and fundraising events. A special thanks to everyone who supports Food2Think and Rohit Sigdel for his incredible work in Nepal, and our dedicated trustees Jeanette Fanthome, Julie Lowell, and Sean Aiken for their ongoing support.

Sponsored Triathlon
A big thank you to everyone who supported us in our sponsored triathlon. Although we all found it exhausting, we got through it and had a lot of fun. We have reached £2000 towards our £3000 target. This will go a long way in providing healthy lunches for the kids at the schools we support and help with building all-weather seating. We have been touched by everyone’s generosity.
HOKA Half Marathon in Sydney
Thanks to Ben Tams, Janelle McQuarrie and Abi Shepherd who ran a half marathon on 21st May 2023 (Australia) raising money for Food2Think to support a new project providing school lunches for the Jana Jyoti Basic School in the Tanahu District, Nepal. They ran as the SHAPE Team, Lighthouse Project and raised £10,000 for Food2Think. We are so proud of their amazing efforts which will go a long way in supporting both schools. I couldn’t be more proud of my incredible brother, Ben, who just completed the HOKA Half Marathon in Sydney and has raised over £10,000 for Food2Think – 🌟🏅Amazing achievement Ben! This money will mean that we can support both the Gayatri Devi Basic School and Jana Jyoti Basic School, providing healthy school lunches to over 200 children each day! Thanks to everyone who supports Food2Think😀🤝💖 If you’re looking for a way to make a difference, consider donating to Food2Thinknk. Or perhaps consider volunteering your time to support us. Every small action counts and can have a ripple effect that transforms lives. 🤝💚 All the best, Simon

Great to see that the kitchen and hand washing station are in full use at the Gayatri Devi Basic School, Nepal (Completed at the end of 2020). The first time the school has had running water! Or a kitchen! Thanks to all those that have, and continue to support Food2Think to help the school achieve its’ goals.With support we can help other schools in the area to build kitchens, provide running water and healthy meals for the children.
