ALDI NORTH BERWICK

At Tummies Not Trash, we believe good food belongs in tummies, not in the trash. Our volunteer team operates 7 days a week, collecting surplus food from retailers across Edinburgh and redistributing it through our central Hub, helping ensure perfectly good food is eaten rather than wasted. Food collected through our network is made available in a number of ways: Free items, including bread, fruit, vegetables and other short-life produce, are available to all throughout our opening hours. Within the Hub, chilled, frozen and ambient items are also redistributed through our community basket model, with voluntary donations helping to support transport, storage, premises and the ongoing running of the charity. To maximise impact and minimise waste, surplus food from our Hub is also shared daily with partner organisations across Edinburgh, including schools, libraries, lunch clubs and community centres, helping extend the reach of good food into local communities. Everything we do is built around our simple goal: reducing food waste, supporting communities, and making the very most of food that would otherwise go to waste.

The Lammermuir Larder Group is a local community food initiative based in Haddington, East Lothian. Established in 2021, our goal is to build a more resilient community through addressing the inequalities in our local area. Originally a constituted group, we became a Scottish Incorporated Charitable Organisation in May 2025. Our emergency food provision together with our advocacy service are a lifeline for people in crisis, providing a holistic approach to support those in challenging situations. Our Community Shop is designed to support those on low incomes helping them to stretch their food budgets whilst at the same time alleviating food waste. Our Let’s Cook initiative provides free cookery classes designed to teach participants on limited incomes how to prepare nutritious, low-cost meals. By addressing the root causes of food insecurity and providing tailored support, we help individuals and families get back on their feet and build a more sustainable future. We couldn't do what we do without our team of dedicated volunteers. They bring a huge amount of life experience and skills to the Larder ensuring our clients are always treated with dignity and respect.

Within the heart of Prestonpans, our work reaches out to families within the Preston, Seton and Gosford area helping families that need an extra helping hand. With nutritionists in our team we aim to provide healthy and substantial meals throughout the school holidays - outwith the school holidays we have many clubs running at our Pennypit centre, including cooking classes, youth clubs, homework clubs and parent cooking groups.
