Sainsbury's Worle

It is a local hot meal food bank supporting local people in Weston super Mare and surroundings who are struggling with food insecurity. The charity also has been providing hot food to the homeless, homeless shelters, family Centre's and many other organisations who support the food insecurity initiative at a regular weekly basis. Every Wednesday, Aishah’s Food Charity hand out over 80-100 meals from a distribution site to people who are suffering with food insecurity. For those who cannot come to the charity’s distribution site, volunteers from Aishah’s Food Charity will deliver a hot meal for them to their house for the whole family.

Collection of surplus food from supermarkets for distribution to those in need.

As part of the Community Fridge Network, Fridge of Free Stuff is in the centre of Weston-Super-Mare and has saved over 27 tonnes of CO2e so far. The primary purpose is to reduce food waste by providing a location which enables retail business, restaurants and supermarkets to share surplus food that is edible and would otherwise go to waste through incineration or landfill. The fridge network is designed to combat the effects of climate change. The project receives ongoing funding from North Somerset Council, Weston Town Council and some grants and is based within the Sovereign Centre. The project is largely volunteer-led and supported by a volunteer rota but overseen by Weston Town Council, who co-ordinate the volunteers, retail supplies and monitor it's success. The other partner agencies include the For All Healthy Living Company and Weston Helping People who contribute, in kind, resources such as volunteering processes, media support and legal holding of licence to occupy.
