ALDI WASHINGTON - ARMSTRONG RD

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.

So we are a performing arts group who started with a few dance classes over 10 years ago. Now for The last 6/7 years have worked in a community that has needed a lot of help and suppport. We have done things such as fare share, free/ low paid classes, help with clothes, help with meals and activities in the holidays. We are looking to get support from local organisation to help provide meals for people who are struggling. We want to make meals for the community, offer them a warm secure place to come and show them the free things that will be starting again in our centre.
