A lucky number of us can go food shopping, without too much financial anxiety, bemoan the rising prices then push it to the back of our mind.

For people who can't afford this luxury, there's nothing comfortable about the weekly shop. In fact, it's impossible to complete a shopping list when there's food sacrifices to be made due to increasing food costs.

Who are Beans on Toast?

To truly understand who food cost inflation impacts people requires training that is shockingly visceral. This is what Beans on Toast do.

They are a collective of people who have and still experience the daily burden of food poverty. Their training is authentic and real. Their mix of interact role plays, active and creative quizzes and horrific poverty facts from one of the richest countries in the world is engaging but the power of Beans on Toasts' presentation is in the delivery of the people involved. They are passionately determined to instigate change from the bottom up, simply because there is no longer trust in the people at the top to achieve this. Their story is honest and wretching, not a theory or opinion delivered by weary trainers with slick power points. Their training it's a reality check we all need so we can join the fight against all aspects of poverty. Who should this training be aimed at? That's a simple question...everyone.
