Aspiring teacher Timi loves debating, art and songwriting, and enjoys discovering different cultures and languages. A keen human rights activist, the London-based campaigner was inspired to join Bite Back after first-hand experience of the struggle for kids from low-income families to access healthy, nutritious food: "My family went through a really tough period when I was younger," recalls Timi. "We were using food banks, and relied on free school meals to get through the day. It was our only guaranteed healthy nutritious meal."

Nutrition graduate Faheemah enjoys kicking out manipulation in our food culture as much as she enjoys kicking (for training purposes) outside of Bite Back. As our Communications and Digital Campaigns Lead, she looks after our website and emails. "Children are left out of school meals because of bad eligibility criteria, yet a barrage of rubbish is paraded in front of them by big food companies," says Faheemah. "They need breathing space to grow, rather than worrying about food – a basic human right – and where their next meal is coming from."
