In this episode we are speaking to Lucy Vincent, Founder of  Food Behind Bars

Food Behind bars is the UK’s only charity dedicated to transforming prison food. Improving the lives of the people eating it, supporting the people making it.  The charity is focused on positively impacting the health and wellbeing of prisoners, by delivering practical food-based education, promoting healthy eating and designing radical food initiatives across the UK’s HM prison network.

Lucy is a trained journalist and activist, her work is focused on spotlighting the connection between mental health, environment and food within prison environments, and providing inmates with not only skills,  but the basic rights of access to healthy food that promotes great inclusivity and positive well being.
