Kelvin is the CEO and founder of FoodCycle. Before starting FoodCycle, he worked for the award winning social enterprise, MyBnk which develops young people’s financial and enterprise literacy.

FoodCycle combines young volunteers, surplus food and a free kitchen space to create nutritious meals and positive social change in the community. Food retailers throw out millions of tons of edible food every year due to supply overstock. The aim of FoodCycle is to redirect this food so it can be used to cook nutritious meals for people in the local community that do not have access to healthy foods for a variety of reasons, such as lack of income or knowledge of healthy nutrition.

This podcast is from the Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs Get Inspired! event on 20th January 2011.
