A new charity, Action Hunger, aims to help people sleeping rough in the UK with the launch of a vending machine for homeless people.

The vending machine is activated by a key card, distributed to homeless people by one of the charity's partner organisations, The Friary. Three items can be collected a day and 100 key cards will be handed out initially. The charity plans to set up a second machine in Manchester in January 2018 and the expansion plans include London, Seattle, Los Angeles and New York.
