The UK’s largest food redistribution charity is helping to feed a record 772,000 people a week – 60% more than the previous year – with food that would otherwise be wasted, new figures reveal. One in eight people in the UK go hungry every day – with the most needy increasingly dependent on food banks – yet perfectly good food is wasted every day through the food production supply chain. FareShare said it was now redistributing food that otherwise would have been wasted with an annual value of £28.7m, up from £22.4m last year. “Three years ago we were helping to feed 211,000 people a week – today it’s three-quarters of a million,” said FareShare’s chief executive, Lindsay Boswell. “We reported in 2015 that we provided food across 320 towns and cities – now it’s 1,500.

A footballer is one of thousands of people who have offered to help a schoolgirl who asked Santa for a home and food for Christmas. The seven-year-old made the emotional appeal in a handwritten letter she popped into a special Santa post box inside the L6 community centre in Liverpool. The postbox was placed in the centre's cafe for visiting children to send notes to Old Saint Nick - but the unnamed girl grabbed the chance to ask for help for her family. The note said: "Dear Father Christmas. Can you help? Can we have a home for Christmas? "Mam wants us to be all together, can you give us some food and can I just have just nice doll for Christmas. Thank you." The player, who is in his 20s and wishes to remain anonymous, branded the situation a "disgrace" and said that the thought that some children go without "kills him", the Liverpool Echo reports. Speaking to the Echo, he said: "I would love to get in touch with the family and help them have a good Christmas.

The ears of millions of young music fans have been captured by its polished pop, foodies have been tantalised by its gastronomic delights, and the country’s artists and actors are also part of a creative wave, known as hallyu, that is establishing South Korea as a major cultural force. Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min was the latest to join the line of cultural pioneers, trotting off the pitch at Manchester City’s Etihad stadium on Wednesday as his nation’s flag was waved by a delirious Spurs fan and others sang a song dedicated to him: “Nice one Sonny, nice one son.” He was not the only Korean hitting the heights in Britain in recent days, as BTS became the first K-pop act to top the national charts and their two dates at Wembley in June sold out within minutes. Son’s two goals helped his team secure a place in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and although they were beaten 4-3 by Manchester City in a thrilling match, the result was … [Read more...] about Feast from the east – why Britain is surfing the Korean culture wave
