Lesley Reader, founder of Sizzling Suppers“As a champion of local food, the events organised will serve good quality, local, seasonal produce.
“I was so inspired by the work of international charity, The Hunger Project that I recently became a UK trustee. The Hunger Project has a mission to end world hunger. Through empowering and transforming communities it is producing amazing results.
“Linking this cause, that I’m passionate about, to a fun evening seemed a natural choice. Let’s enjoy this opportunity for connection and fun, knowing we are contributing to and joining with others through a truly worthwhile cause.”

About the charity
The Hunger Project is an international organisation committed to the sustainable end of world hunger.
In thousands of villages in Africa, Asia and Latin America, The Hunger Project empowers people to take charge of their own lives. Rather than giving handouts, The Hunger Project builds self-reliance, empowering men and women to achieve permanent solutions. It mobilises all sectors of society to work together – government, business, academia and small scale organisations. It makes a difference at both grassroots and leadership levels, enabling hungry people to transform their lives, and leaders to translate that local experience into lasting, society-wide changes.
The Hunger Project has pioneered low-cost, grass-roots strategies in each region where hunger persists. These strategies activate clusters of rural villages to create and run their own programmes that achieve lasting progress in health, education, nutrition and family income. Entrepreneurship is at the heart of The Hunger Project. It’s an organisation in the business of making people see their potential and by themselves overcoming hunger and poverty.
For example in Africa, The Hunger Project created the African Woman Food Farmer Initiative (AWFFI) in 1999 — a pioneering programme of training, credit and savings designed to economically empower women food farmers. The initial intention of AWFFI was to demonstrate that African women food farmers could manage their own microfinance programme. Since the year 2000, women have received 73,000 loans totaling US$4.2 million (and repaid over 95% of them). They have also established officially recognised, women-led rural banks in 17 communities.
