World Hunger Day 2025

The scenes of starving children on TV are becoming increasingly difficult to watch. I feel a sense of powerlessness despite making donations to reputable organisations trying to help. Somehow, it’s an even harder watch as we have no idea what being genuinely hungry really feels like. It is common to hear well fed people say “I’m starving” without any real thought as to what they are actually saying. Yet even within the U.K. there are thousands of children genuinely under nourished. World hunger day is a timely reminder that we all must do all we can to try to alleviate this suffering.
