The Real Junk Food Project intercepts this perfectly edible food from local businesses and supermarkets before it is thrown away, turning it into healthy meals to serve to the community on a Pay as You Feel basis. The Pay As You Feel concept invites people to exchange not just their money, but ideas, time and creativity for a meal.

BrightStore is a community grass roots level food project run by and for local people. It's a very reasonably priced membership scheme. We offer high quality, affordable food including bread, eggs, fruit and vegetables along with other essential items. We are a solidarity scheme, which means that people can pay more if possible, to support those less able to pay. In return for a very affordable weekly shop, members who sign up to be part of the project are encouraged to get involved in helping to run it. Roles include managing deliveries, working with suppliers and setting up the weekly store.
