Bournemouth Recycle

Bournemouth, UK

Bournemouth Recycle is a community Facebook group where we work to save items from landfill, while supporting the local community. Many thousands of items are saved from potential landfill and passed onto other people for re-use. We do not charge for our services. The group was founded in 2020 by Sharon Valler and has over 30,000 local members. Bournemouth Recycle is run by an admin team of 60 local volunteers, covering our group, food surplus scheme and charity collection programme. As well as recycling (around 300 posts per day), we collect and distribute food surplus, three times per week, within our local community and offer additional support to NHS staff in the form of food parcels. We also run a monthly charity appeal, collecting items for local organisations, through our drop off points throughout the area. "The Plot", also founded by Sharon Valler, has raised almost £23,000 for NHS staff welfare locally. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02WjDuAmqUarUEmq27HTFV2Nvidf5GPG1cB2g2ExtmSofYPGJxKZMA3E2jDejpogGtl&id=1314702786 https://bbc.in/3YNaF3C?fbclid=IwAR0SzrRn5Opvs_IKSQyzPEBRZgMoROJNW-juWMxjKNg13cmerrizyKLsH44

Surplus Kitchen / The Bread Bin

Christchurch, UK

Surplus Kitchen incorporates Redistribution, Community, & Education through it's projects. Redistribution - We collect surplus goods from supermarkets which we use in our projects and through our main partner, Winton Parkstone Christadelphian Pantry (WPCP) who serve around 200-250 people a week. Community - Through The Bread Bin project we distribute surplus bakery products into local communities. Education - We want to show how to save food from being wasted, and how to produce something edible and yummy with it. The Bread Bin is a free community bakery which saves bakery products from being thrown out as waste by supermarkets, and distributes them into local communities. In it's first year it saved 8.8 tonnes of surplus bakery, and that number continues to grow. It currently has 5 public access locations across BCP which are open to the public, and it's on the Access To Food Map.
