City Harvest food charity is part of the fabric of London. Its food redistribution network weaves a vibrant tapestry of community support, sustained by the diverse cultures and walks of life that define London.
The portrait series, Driven to Serve is a celebration of the people who keep London fed, quietly and without applause. A love letter to the ones driving vans at dawn, sorting pallets of surplus food, and showing up with nothing but graft, heart, and grit. These are the connectors, the food rescuers, and the everyday movement transforming our city for the better.
Through this series, we get up a close up of the faces behind City Harvest: the staff, the volunteers, the drivers, and the organisations at the receiving end. This isn’t charity gloss, it’s an archive of spirit. It’s a reminder that London’s survival kits often come in the form of open arms, hard work, and a network of people redistributing surplus food to where it’s most needed. Unsung Heroes frames City Harvest’s community not just as charity workers, but as catalysts of change.
