02 Activities
What the charity does
We source edible surplus food from food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, which would otherwise be disposed of as waste. We redistribute this food, and donated food, through community food members to disadvantaged groups. We provide a wide range of meaningful volunteering and/or work experience opportunities for individuals from all walks of life. We provide training for our volunteers.
