“Man who tries to create impact, and take a charitable and social enterprise movement to a forever movement. We are immediate responders.” is how Shaun describes his work today.

Shaun Christie-David is a visionary leader transforming the way we think about food and social impact. As the founder of the Plate It Forward movement, he has created a network of socially driven restaurants and initiatives that have provided employment opportunities for over 200 people from marginalised communities and have donated more than 560,000 meals to those facing food insecurity locally and globally.

His innovative approach has earned him numerous accolades, including being named Sydney’s Future Shaper by TimeOut Magazine in 2024, SMH Good Food Innovator of the Year in 2023, and an AMP Tomorrow Maker in 2021. Through ventures like Colombo Social, Kabul Social, and Kyiv Social, Shaun combines cultural storytelling with impactful change, proving that food can unite, empower, and inspire.
