 This week, Tim and Piers are joined by Nathan Atkinson, co-founder of Rethink Food, a social enterprise on a mission to end hunger through education, sustainability and dignity.From life as a headteacher in Leeds to leading one of the UK’s Top 100 Social Enterprises, Nathan’s story is both powerful and practical — showing how small actions can spark national change.In this episode, we explore:🍞 How one conversation with a hungry pupil changed Nathan’s life — and inspired Rethink Food.🥕 The National School Pantry Network, helping families access food with dignity, not dependency.🌍 Teaching children to “eat to save the planet” through creative food education.💪 Why empowerment, not stigma, must sit at the heart of food support.🎬 The role of storytelling in changing perceptions — and how Rethink Food uses creativity to connect.🧠 Why innovation often starts in the quiet moments — and how the sector can learn from that mindset.Between parts one and two of the interview, Tim and Piers unpack the week’s charity news, including:⚠️ A major report predicting a shortfall of 3 million volunteers across UK charities — and what that could mean for the sector.🎮 The rise of gaming for good, with YouTube star TommyInnit raising £450,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital through a live-streamed mystery game.And as always, we shine our Small Charity Spotlight on two brilliant organisations:🛍️ World Food Aid Shop (Clacton-on-Sea) – funding food banks and disaster relief, with volunteer power at its heart.🧸 MERU – designing and adapting assistive products and sensory toys for disabled children, giving independence and joy where it’s most needed.👉 Whether you work in food insecurity, education or community programmes, this episode will leave you inspired by what’s possible when creativity meets compassion.Useful linksRethink Food – rethinkfood.org.ukNational School Pantry Network – rethinkfood.org.uk/nspnRoyal Voluntary Service report on volunteering – royalvoluntaryservice.org.ukGreat Ormond Street Hospital Charity – gosh.orgWorld Food Aid Shop – worldfoodaid.orgMERU – meru.org.ukThe Good Studio – Creative content for good causes: thegoodstudio.co.ukGet involved:Listen to The Charity Show on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favourite platformEmail us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠thecharityshowpod@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a voice message to TheCharityShow⁠Find every link you need: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/thecharityshow⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Enjoyed the episode?
