ALDI GREAT BARR

The Real Junk Food Project Central is a Community Interest Company established in August 2017. We intercept edible food destined for waste from supermarkets, restaurants and shops, and make it available for human consumption through our network of local, community-focused cafes and food boutiques. We also offer unique events catering and bespoke training under our TRJFP Academy. Everything we do is always Pay As You Feel, and welcoming of people from all walks of life. You are welcome to pay for your food in cash, time, skills, or anything else you can think of! We operate on a bottom-up philosophy, where local cafes and food boutiques are run by representatives of their community.

We are a small charitable community group based in Kingstanding, one of the more deprived areas of Birmingham. We provide support to families, the homeless, elderly and underprivileged members of our community. Our main project ' TiCs Food Parcels' is currently helping the vulnerable and those affected by the rising cost of living by providing community members with food parcels on a fortnightly basis. We collect and distibute surplus food donations and essential items from supermarkets, to help people in need. Our other projects include our Annual Boxing Day Meal, Homeless Shoe Box Project, Fun Days and other outside events. We also provide training and health workshops relevant to our community.

Cgl provides a range of services to support individuals, families and communities whose lives are adversely affected by crime, substance misuse, homelessness, anti-social behaviour, domestic violence, social deprivation and lack of opportunity. the charity works with challenging service users with complex needs, including those with entrenched drug habits and offending behaviour.
