ALDI LEEDS - WORTLEY

Rethink Food is an award winning non-profit organisation recognised as one of the UK’s Top 100 social enterprises in the NatWest SE100 Index 2025...on a mission to create a generation of healthy, food-literate, and environmentally conscious young people. We intercept and make sense of food surplus. Educate and empower people to live food secure lives. Redistributing to primary schools, families and those that need it. We also offer education to make the food system fair and sustainable.

Meeting Point runs a weekly drop-in for refugees and asylum seekers. Up to 120 adults and 25 children attend this drop-in each week. We provide a range of long and short term support services, including food parcels, a hot meal and refreshments, clothes, computer and internet use, help and advice, conversation Café, English class, children's activities and women's group. During the week we also run additional support groups, which vary throughout the year, and also a Women's Group which meets weekly. Many of our beneficiaries are destitute and surviving on little or no income. We are quite literally a lifeline for many who attend.

We are a community group which has been set up to help work towards a more intergrated and sociable Armley Town Street. Our aim is for Armley Town Street and beyond to be a safer and family friendly shopping experience for all who live, work and play here. We are an umbrella group which support the establishment of sub groups to work on separate aspects of the community development. Examples of the subgroups are an Armley in Bloom group, and Armley Festival and entertainments Team, a litter picking and social impact team and a business support group. We are a volunteer group so we are relying on the expertise and time of individuals within our community to help to make this a cohesive and successful and sustainable project.
