Acanthamoeba (2015)
May 24, 2015
This was the least expected and most frightening challenge I’ve faced to date. What me, the pharmacist and my GP thought to be conjunctivitis, turned out to be a much rarer eye infection called acanthamoeba. 9 days in hospital and 4 months of treatment later, I’m hopeful that my relatively early diagnosis saved the sight … More Acanthamoeba (2015)
Brussels to Amsterdam (2015)
February 8, 2015
This Easter I’ll be cycling from Brussels to Amsterdam! The plan is to take on a 280km route that follows cycle paths all the way through Antwerp, Breda, Dordrecht, Gouda (cheese fans rejoice) and ultimately Amsterdam. Training begins next week alongside the continuous development of Bounceback Food. Let’s do this! X
2014 Review: Timing Is Everything?
December 28, 2014
On more than one occasion this year, timing has been a fortunate consequence of instinct. Next year I’ll continue on this path as the road less travelled continues to surprise and delight.

Here it is, the first Bounceback Food logo! It needed to be bold – we’re taking on a huge challenge. At all our market events we have our foodbank drive: every time you buy a staple item of food, the same one (like for like!) will be donated to your nearest foodbank or community project. … More Our first logo!
Let’s Push Things Forward
November 15, 2014
To what extent is corporate social responsibility and marketing strategy a neat allegiance? Should a profit-maximising business act philanthropically? What defines a social enterprise?! After only a few weeks in the world of social enterprise it’s clear that the sector itself contains a broad church of opinions. Answers fuel a subjective spectrum of debate. It’s … More Let’s Push Things Forward
Bounceback Food
November 2, 2014
Earlier this year I decided to do something about food poverty. The scale of the problem is staggering and hard to ignore: Last year alone, the number of people who rely on food banks in the UK tripled – The Trussell Trust (2013) The number of malnutrition-related hospital admissions has increased by 74% since 2009 – … More Bounceback Food
