@FarmerAndyH

Huge congratulations again on your win at the BBC Food & Farming Awards! Hope you had a fantastic time in Glasgow.

I just wanted to flag that the BBC still hasn’t updated their website with the winners from the awards. I’ve already reached out to them, but if you’re in touch with them too, a little nudge from your side might help move things along.

Hope all is going well—hope to cross paths one day

Best,
Deri (You're community Food Champion ;) )

People in Wales should not have to worry about putting food on the table this winter.

We’re providing an extra £1.7m to help those in the most need over the festive period—and support community projects working to tackle the causes of food poverty.

This award is dedicated to all the volunteers who share their time, the businesses who share their skills, the growers who share their produce, and the people who have donated their money to make this project happen. I’m truly honoured and humbled to be this year’s Morning Live BBC Food & Farming Awards Community Food Champion 2024! Cegin Hedyn is a testament to what a community can achieve when they come together to step into their own power to take responsibility for a food system that’s letting us, the people & our planet down. #bbcfoodawards

Mixed emotions this morning after a poor night’s sleep due to an overactive mind. It’s a strange feeling being nominated for this award, as it stirs many conflicting emotions in me. That said, as I write this, I feel deeply honoured that so many of you nominated me. Whatever the outcome, it is both my duty and my privilege to attend and represent the work I’ve been doing in the Food & Farming world.

What’s particularly ironic about these awards is that the person who had a huge influence on my decision to take this life path—Mr. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall—is hosting the event. Life’s a funny old game; the longer I’m in it, the more I realise how beautiful it can be.

Whatever happens tomorrow, I’m so thrilled to be part of the show and to have the chance to shine a spotlight on my work in Carmarthen, bringing it further into the heart of the BBC!
