Nathan Atkinson has been featured by Sean Harris as part of the “Cuppa with a Change Maker” series on That Poverty Guy Substack.
The feature shines a light on the work of Rethink Food and explores the growing conversation around food insecurity, education, health and social inequality. Sean Harris described the organisation as having “a real gift for outlining both the scale of the challenge of food insecurity but also the vital role that education plays in tackling these inequalities.”
Known widely for his work around poverty, disadvantage and education, Sean Harris uses his platform “That Poverty Guy” to spotlight individuals and organisations creating meaningful change in communities across the UK. His work focuses on social justice, equity and amplifying lived experiences to challenge inequality.
In the feature, Nathan shares the journey behind Rethink Food and the organisation’s mission to create #HealthyPeopleHealthyPlanet through education, community action and partnership working. The conversation highlights how food insecurity is about far more than food alone, it is deeply connected to health, opportunity, confidence, education and long-term wellbeing.
Through programmes including the National School Pantry Network and Agents of Change, Rethink Food is working alongside schools, businesses and communities to empower young people with the knowledge and skills to lead healthier, more sustainable lives.
The feature also reflects on the importance of collaboration in driving social change. From supporting schools with rescued food redistribution to delivering curriculum-aligned education around health and sustainability, Rethink Food continues to champion practical, community-led solutions that make a real difference.
Nathan’s inclusion in the “Cuppa with a Change Maker” series places Rethink Food amongst a growing network of changemakers committed to tackling inequality and building stronger, healthier communities.
