Our own charity, The Wiggly Worm, is set to deliver change for those in the world of food, education and tourism. It builds upon years of dedication by Rob Rees MBE working in the voluntary and public arenas.

Initially, as part of good corporate responsibility and social enterprise, Rob was inspired working with young people and hard to reach groups in raising self esteem, basic skills and employability using food as a tool. Many projects have involved drug and alcohol abuse teams, pupil referral units and low income groups.

Our focus is on empowering people to do better by improving skills and access around food and cookery. This is evident through the various initiatives that the company supports, including Get Gloucestershire Cooking, the Kraft Health4Schools project, British Food Fortnight, and chairing the South West Year of Food & Farming delivery group.

Public appointments past and present include former Board Member of the Food Standards Agency, Member of the Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food, Board Member and Trustee of the School Food Trust, Trustee of the British Nutrition Foundation, Director of Stroud Education Business Partnership, former Trustee of Gloucestershire Association of the Blind, and former Director of Taste of the West.
