The grim challenge took inspiration from the popular TV show to attract a crowd of over 60 colleagues to watch them. With a menu of crickets, leafcutter ants, silkworm pupae, mixed critters and more - it’s safe to say that the participants will be sticking to their normal lunches from now on!
Micheala Blanche, Risk & Governance Manager, wasn’t too keen on her dish.
“The menu definitely needs expanding! The mopane worm had such a strong flavour, it was really dry,” said Micheala.
Learning & Development Manager, Nick Beech munched on a lemon flavoured chapluline. He said: “The texture was absolutely awful!”
The bush tucker trial brought in £400 for Headway through donations and ticket sales.
“It was such a fantastic event. A brilliant effort by everyone!” said Dave Barlow, Senior BT & ABI Specialist.
This event is just one of many that Voyage Care has held for Headway as part of their Charity of the Year partnership 2017. The organisation, who provide care and support to people with complex needs and learning disabilities and are specialists in supporting people with brain injuries, recently announced that they will be continuing the partnership for another year in 2018.
