App to help feed homeless earns Iseult Time accolade

Feeding the homeless population of Ireland is a daunting task, but it’s all in a day’s work for social entrepreneur Iseult Ward who has just been named as one of Time magazine’s ‘Next Generation Leaders’.

Earlier this week her company FoodCloud, which connects businesses with charities, won a Social Entrepreneurs Ireland award and a €140,000 investment.

She said: “From a personal perspective it’s pretty overwhelming, but it’s brilliant to get so much recognition for the team. The more publicity we get, the more recognition, and the easier it is to create links with charities if maybe they’ve already heard of us.”
