Hungry Nation is a creative collaboration, involving 9 people who want to get their experiences of food poverty heard by a wider audience.

Faiza, Roxie, Simon, Nick, Tony, Bradley, Tom, Denise and Hema will take to a stage with a new piece of theatre in their home town of Coventry as part of its City of Culture year – to express what it feels like not knowing where your next meal will come from.

Join us on an epic journey to unpick why people are going hungry in one of the richest countries in the world.
