Dreamt up on the chilly streets of Edinburgh, co Founder JP Campbell was selling his gourmet soups and working with grassroots feeding charities providing school meals to children living in poverty.
Hitting 37,000 meals donated, he traveled to Kenya to see the incredible impact of a school meal – and realized the simple one for one meal donation concept could create real change.
He successfully enrolled in Virgin Unite’s “Screw business as usual” competition to see if he could grow the concept, and in walks the dream team and seasoned food industry professionals, Owen and Mark, to help make scaling this model a reality.
Ten years later, and over 26 million meals donated, One Feeds Two have worked with iconic brands in the food industry, launched in the US and most importantly, provided access to a world of education for kids in some of the poorest countries, all through the power of a school meal.

JP moved from corporate law toselling gourmet soups in his Edinburgh-based Elephant Juice Food Company. It was here he pioneered One Feeds Two. After a trip to Kenya, to see the impact One Feeds Two was starting to have on the school feeding programmes they funded, he returned home determined to scale the concept.
Mark co-founded the award-winning West Cornwall Pasty Co, growing the business to 55 shops with over 500 employees. Since the company’s sale in 2007 he’s invested in many businesses and volunteered at the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship in South Africa. His interests have come together in his latest venture, Rola Wala, an Indian street food business that guarantees One Feeds Two.
A management consultant working around the world, including at the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship, Owen was appointed their Interim CEO in 2010. It was here he met Mark, who was mentoring one of the businesses at the centre. In recent years, he’s worked on several different projects in the food industry, including a number with Associated British Foods Plc.
