Lidl Whitby

Here at Flash Company Arts Ltd. CIC creating equality and inclusion is our passion, whether this be through art, music, food, community activities ..... building community cohesion through shared experiences is what we do. We are passionate about food equality and about saving precvious food from the bin! We run a pay as you feel food project in our community cafe, and we also house the Whitby Community Fridge. This is a facility that will help us redistribute food that is at risk of entering the waste food system, and to provide people with good food when they need it most. We will train people and increase their employability by offering volunteer opportunities, and as the world returns to some kind of 'normal' we will help people to gconnect with other members of their community. All that for starters!
