ALDI CUMBERNAULD

As part of the SDG goals project we have been tasked to look at Zero Hunger by Education Scotland and ACS Clothing. We are looking to set up a Pantry in which people can pay 50p for 20 items of their choice. The pupils will lead this. They have already made contact with both Aldis and Lidls. The pupils spoke to the managers of both stores. Craig at Aldis and Colin at Lidls have looked at their rotas and have explained they both have spaces for food donations/pick ups. They both advised we contact Neighbourly explianing we have spoken to them. We are looking for the Pantry to be set up and running the week beginning 12 th of June.

The prevention or relief of poverty in kilsyth and surrounding areas in particular but not exclusively by providing emergency food supplies to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

We are a group who like to reduce landfill waste by collecting and giving to the wildlife we take care of at the farm. The farm is 30 acres including forest land we have a great wildlife population on the farm. We also let injured foxes return to the wild from the farm by the SPCA, we have helped release 16 foxes. We also donate our manure to people growing fruit and veg. We will help free of charge to load it for them too. we collect seeds from old fruit and veg so nothing goes to waste. we help injured animals and foster ones for rescues to help find new homes. We have a farm in Palacerigg, Cumbernauld which has, for over 20 years, taken foxes from the SSPCA (Scotland's Animal Welfare Charity) which are well enough to be released into the wild. They are fed every night alongside a family of badgers, deer and birds. Our aim is to further reduce waste and we would like to make use of surplus food, where this is not going to local good causes. We would make use of fruit and vegetables that are no longer edible too as these will always contain seeds from which more can be grown. since we started collecting food waste we have managed to feed deer, foxes, badgers, birds of prey which visit the farm daily and horses. We rescue injured wildlife and help them recover here on the farm if its possible.
