ALDI SUTTON IN ASHFIELD - MANSFIELD RD

Pulp Friction Smoothie Bar CIO is a charity that employs and supports Learning Disabled and Autistic adults. We train our members to prepare, cook and serve fresh food at our Community Cafe at Bestwood Park Church and our canteen at the Joint Nottinghamshire Police and Fire Headquarters. We run regular SuperKitchen social eating events in community venues and offer a small outside catering service. Our Members also run our pedal-powered smoothie bars at public events and in public places. Based in Nottingham, we take our smoothie bar to local events, schools, youth clubs, trade fairs and more. Customers can make their own smoothies whilst having fun and getting some exercise! All our members work at their own pace and to their own strengths in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. With your help, we will continue developing their work-readiness, social and independence skills. We need food donations, money to buy aprons and uniforms, as well as willing volunteers to work alongside our members or give us IT support. Thank you!

Our centre opens 4 days a week and offers support to all of our local community, and is available to anyone without the need for a referral. We work tirelessly to tackle food waste and provide food, non food items, support and access to services to all. We offer surplus food, free of any charges (membership fees etc) to ANYONE within the community and aim to support those most in need.

We reach out to our local community with food parcels and also meals. We fight to alleviate poverty and make sure people have food to eat and also ensure that food is not wasted. We also provide support to children and families in the community. We are able to achieve our vision and carry out our activities through free will donations and support from community members, food surplus which we share to people.
