Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

And it's those relationships where so many more brilliant things actually come from.

So when people start sharing food within a community, it's a brilliant foundation for strong relationships.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner

And you'll often see that the businesses and the charities that are working together within these communities through food redistribution

we'll end up doing so much more together because of the relationships they establish.

And it's one of the things that I love about our work in Food Cloud, that every day we're creating thousands of these connections.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

And these connections are founded on sharing food.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

And that's something that's very special.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner

And I think what we find from

But within the Tesco store, it's a local person that's there and working in the store.

And every day then they're interacting with somebody in their local charity to donate this food.

And they might know that person because it's all within one local community.

So it is, I think it's that it's really, it's a global solution in terms of the impact that we're having, but it's really driven by local people and what's happening within local communities.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

And the technology is really important to enable that because

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

We can track donations happening across five countries, thousands of them, all within the space of a few hours.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

And it's really important for data, for food safety, that we can see all of that.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner
Iseult Ward: Rescuing Food, Building Systems

But we know what's really happening on the ground is what's really special.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner

And it's all of those connections.

The Tools at Hand with Harrison Gardner

So our technology solution allows charities to go directly to businesses and collect food.

And that's how it's working across the five countries that we're in at the moment.
