About this service

FoodCycle provides a hot, healthy meal and a chance to socialize for people across England. It is there for anyone who is hungry or lonely. There is no charge for using it. You can contact them yourself, so you do not need to be referred by anyone else. Asking for help with food is more common than most people realise, and you do not need to explain yourself. Getting the basics sorted can give you room to think about the next step. You can ask for help for yourself or for someone else, and no one will judge you for it.
