Welcome to this week’s features sneak peek, which kicks off in historic Lewes.

World Porridge Championships

Following a month-long expedition to Peru in 2017, Lynn Munro was diagnosed with Lyme Disease.
The disease, passed on through tick bites, left Lynn feeling exhausted.
Then last year’s World Porridge Championships gave her a new goal.
After growing her own oats, she won a new category at the annual event. She now practises what she preaches, encouraging others to grow their own food.
Tracy’s Street Kitchen

After a traumatic childhood, Tracy Dickinson found herself sleeping rough in Nottingham aged just fourteen.
Now, she works tirelessly to support the homeless locals.
In 2016, Tracy noticed the homeless problem was getting worse, so she and a friend filled a backpack with sandwiches and flasks of tea and coffee.
They fed a number of homeless people, and word started to grow.
Rain, hail or shine, Tracy and her band of volunteers are there to serve the local homeless community.
