ALDI ISLE OF WIGHT - COWES

Feeding Isle of Wight runs a surplus food distribution centre on the Isle of Wight. This was set up to prevent surplus food being returned to the mainland to go into landfill. The aim is to help prevent hunger in an area of high deprivation. We distribute to various food charities on the Island. We also run a food pantry in Cowes from the front of the distribution centre. We offer various wraparound care including a Digital Network Hub.

By Connecting with food stores and local producers to prevent useable products going to landfill, including food, toiletries and cleaning products, our aim is to use these items by hosting monthly community cook ups at St Saviours Church in Totland and to put daily collections of products at West Wight Sport and Community Centre, made available to the general public on a “pay as you feel” basis.

We are a small, friendly primary school and would like some help making our Early Years play areas more fun! We would like some reading/den structures to shade from the sun. We like to play outdoors as much as possible and need exciting areas to explore. In the past we have given out surplus foods to families who we know are struggling to feed their children.
