I want to tell you about Paul Hampson and Dario Curcillo. At a time when many people struggle to find the time to think about, let alone cook, balanced and nutritious meals, they created GIVE Kitchen to deliver fresh, delicious and healthy food to their customers. Their wisdom doesn't stop there! The rise in poverty and homelessness is something that they couldn't ignore, so for every meal purchased, they 'give' a meal to the homeless. Isn't that amazing?

I'd love for you to meet Andy Tabar. He went from omnivore to vegan within eight months, and then kind of fell into creating his own business. With his 'do it yourself' attitude, and resourceful nature, he started making his own t-shirts because he wanted them to have a certain feel, expressing messages about veganism and made in a way which was as kind and ethical as possible. This led to him creating Compassionate Co through which he design t-shirts to fit all sorts of people whether they be feisty or not!
