Abingdon, UK
The Food Rescue Group, Abingdon, Didcot and Nuneham Courtenay was co-founded by Iman Satti and Ghazala Mirza, whose early contributions helped establish the group and shape its purpose within the local community. At its heart, the group is focused on tackling food waste, a major source of unnecessary resource loss and methane emissions from landfill. By rescuing surplus food and sharing it with individuals and families, the group reduces environmental impact while supporting people across Abingdon. The group works closely with local producers and retailers to ensure good food is used rather than discarded. These partnerships help businesses reduce waste and disposal costs, while creating positive environmental and social outcomes for the community. Pickup and distribution in Abingdon, Didcot and Nuneham Courtenay are coordinated by Madhvi Saini, Iman Satti, and Ghazala Mirza. Together, they manage volunteer scheduling, oversee collections, and ensure rescued food is delivered promptly, safely, and to where it is needed most. Their shared leadership helps keep operations efficient, inclusive, and closely aligned with the group’s values. The work is powered by volunteers from local universities, schools, and community groups, who collect and distribute food soon after pickup to maintain freshness and high safety standards. Any food that cannot be shared is disposed of responsibly to minimise environmental harm. Coordination takes place through a dedicated WhatsApp group, allowing volunteers to stay connected and respond quickly to collections. By diverting surplus food from landfill, the Food Rescue Group, Abingdon, Didcot and Nuneham Courtenay is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving valuable resources, and strengthening local connections. As the group continues to grow, it remains committed to building a more caring, sustainable, and inclusive community, one meal, one volunteer, and one neighbourhood at a time.
