REfUSE

Chester-le-Street, UK

In the North East alone over 800,000 tonnes of food waste is generated every year. That’s over a third of food produced for us to eat. We think that’s rubbish and we hope you agree. We use our cafe as a platform for campaigning and educating people about food waste. All members of the community are welcome and we get up to 600 people through our Cafe per week. We don’t see this food as ‘waste’, we see beautiful and valuable food, and we see the energy, time, fuel, water and other resources that have gone into making it, packaging it and getting it to our supermarket shelves. Join us in giving it value and stopping this waste of resources.

Helping Hands

Ferryhill, UK

The Cornforth Partnership has recognized that many residents in our local community often go without food whether it be because they are old and don't cook a meal for themselves or because they cant afford to due to benefit cuts and sanctions and occasionally poor management. We have seen a increase in demand for our support and services over recent years, due to benefit changes and government cut backs. As the roll out of universal credit starts to hit our communities we anticipate more and more residents becoming reliable on our services and support. One of the ways in which we are supporting our vulnerable residents is by providing opportunities to access food. We have small team of volunteers who support our staff to provide the following opportunities: * weekly luncheon club for the elderly residents, providing residents with a low cost hot meal and opportunity to engage in fun social activities. * Weekly youth clubs sessions with young people and children with access to healthy snacks and food. * Cooking on a budget training programs for families and individuals * Weekly mental health support group with access to healthy snacks and food. * Weekly teen parent support group. We are also a food bank collection and donation point. The Cornforth Partnership believes that no should go without food despite their personal circumstance and will strive to support, children, young people, families and adults to have access to affordable healthy cooked meals, learning opportunities and food parcels.
