Joe Lycett should donate £10,000, not shred it

I am writing to beg Joe Lycett to donate his £10,000 to Trussell Trust food banks or any charity or school desperate for funds (Joe Lycett to shred £10,000 if David Beckham promotes World Cup in Qatar, 13 November). Shredding money when so many are in need nowadays is just wanton destruction.

• As the person who cooked in a safe house for those going out on action during the recent Just Stop Oil M25 project, I was so grateful to Meera Sodha and Rachel Roddy for their always brilliant recipes in Feast magazine. In a vegan house, the climbers from our team went out fuelled with vegetable chilli, borlotti bean and potato stew etc. They all made it up on to the gantries, due in no small part to these excellent recipes.
