B&Q Newport, Iow

By Connecting with food stores and local producers to prevent useable products going to landfill, including food, toiletries and cleaning products, our aim is to use these items by hosting monthly community cook ups at St Saviours Church in Totland and to put daily collections of products at West Wight Sport and Community Centre, made available to the general public on a “pay as you feel” basis.

We have a group of volunteers who collect surplus from Marks and Spencers on every school day. The surplus food is then displayed at our school, for our parents to collect and take home. This is an invaluable service, which benefits our parents greatly, especially in times of hardship. There is no charge for this service.

We are a small, friendly primary school and would like some help making our Early Years play areas more fun! We would like some reading/den structures to shade from the sun. We like to play outdoors as much as possible and need exciting areas to explore. In the past we have given out surplus foods to families who we know are struggling to feed their children.
