Supporting Local Charities
We are proud to announce our partnership with Food Aware CIC.
Food AWARE is a ‘not for profit’ social enterprise set up to find ways of redistributing surplus food from potential waste to human consumption or other environmentally friendly means of reuse.
Food Aware redistribute surplus food by diverting from potential waste and into needy communities. A key objective of their project is to redistribute healthy 5-a- day produce e.g. tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, fruit etc as this encourages healthier eating.
They currently collect and redistribute over four tonnes of quality-control failing ’5-a-day’ produce every week in partnership with local suppliers and farmers.
Food AWARE are proud to support the ‘Love Food Hate Waste’ campaign!!
Food AWARE on Facebook – check out our very own group page! Lots of exciting news and photographs about their project (including examples of some of the surplus 5-a-day we receive every week!!!). And on Twitter!
Our partnership provides the Directors and Volunteers at Food Aware with access to H&S Food Safety and Fire Safety Support, ensuring that they provide the best service to the community.
