Premier League winner dannysimpson is among the volunteers delivering hampers to those in need
Lewey Hellewell helped to set up Humans MCR after his own 'undignified' experiences of using food banks.
He was forced to turn to them after he was made redundant from his job in hospitality in 2018 and distinctly remembers how he found himself in a position he never anticipated, feeling 'shame' and 'desperation' as he was forced to stand in line for his food. He realised how ‘undignified’ the experience felt, and has since set out to change this for others in need. When he was able to improve his own situation, Lewey turned his attention to helping others benefit in a more dignified way - and so in 2019, Humans MCR was founded
The charity want to transform the experience of using food banks. They opt to deliver food parcels to people's doorsteps, in an experience they hope makes it easier for those in need to reach out. They also provide a 'community grocers' service, where those in need can source fresh, good quality food at slashed prices.
