Our fleet of vans collect surplus food from businesses that would otherwise end up in landfill.
We redistribute this food to food banks, whilst our kitchen creates nutritious meals for those who need them most in our local community.
We also run a weekly market, and also cater events like weddings and corporate get-togethers with 100% surplus food.
None of this would be possible without our dedicated team and amazing 200+ volunteers and we're still growing!
Support Us What We DoTo accomplish our goal of reducing food waste and alleviating food poverty we run the following initiatives:
Food Redistribution
We redistribute surplus food to over 150 local charities, making sure it reaches those in need quickly and efficiently.

By volunteering with us, you help ensure that perfectly good food reaches those who need it most, rather than ending up in landfills. Whether you can offer a few hours a week or more, every bit of help counts and makes a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve.
