The project began in May 2015 and ran a series of successful pop-ups, feeding an average of 201 people per event and utilising 15 volunteers each time to assist in the planning and execution of the events. Fast forward to 2026 and Food Works now recovers over 300 tonnes of surplus food per year to help build a fair and sustainable food system in Sheffield. Through our two community cafes and 17 community partner hubs we are providing access to affordable, sustainable food across the city.

UKHarvest is a leading environmental and social impact charity dedicated to preventing food waste and food insecurity. By enriching and educating our communities we help nurture those most food insecure, to live well, age well and to help combat social isolation. From our food rescue operation to our education programmes, to our award winning Nourish Hub, every initiative we offer brings people together for the most meaningful impact. We collect perishable food from places like supermarkets, hotels, wholesalers, farmers, stadiums, catering companies, shopping centres, cafes and more, delivering it for free to charities and individuals throughout the UK. We use the food as a medium to engage communities and teach people to reduce household food waste so everyone can join our mission!

Food AWARE CIC was established in 2008 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. AWARE stands for 'Alternative to Waste And Re-use Enterprise). We currently work with over 50 community-based organisations across South Yorkshire (largely located in Doncaster and Rotherham areas). We collect/receive edible surplus food made available to us via local supermarkets, farms, wholesalers, food discounters, allotments, donations etc and redistribute to those in need via trusted local community partners e.g. churches, foodbanks, soup kitchens, luncheon clubs, youth cafes etc. We also educate on food labelling e.g. 'Best Before' vs 'Use By' dates, Eat Well Plate, Love Food Hate Waste, Change4Life etc. We provide numerous training and volunteering opportunities e.g. drivers, warehouse operatives, administration, foodbank volunteers etc. Our motto is #FeedPeopleNotLandfill!
