Co-op Academy Brierley is a SEN school in Leeds that is deeply committed to supporting our community and ensuring the well-being of our families. To aid those facing financial hardships, we have established a food pantry that offers essential supplies to families in need. This initiative helps ensure that no family at our school has to go without basic necessities, especially in times of difficulty. We kindly ask for donations of non-perishable food items, dried goods, cupboard staples, as well as toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other personal care items. These donations go a long way in providing comfort and stability to those who may be struggling. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and directly impacts the lives of our students and their families.

Surplus To Purpose (SToP) is an environmental enterprise which specialise in the interception of surplus food destined for waste. This produce may be past Best Before, suffered accidental damage or surplus to requirements. Trained personnel record, process and quality control all intercepted food, to ensure it is safe for consumption. This food is then redistributed through various activities such as; boxes for families, outside catering & events, Pay As You Feel cafes and into schools. SToP intercepts approximately 1,000 tons per year at its headquarters in Leeds - the equivalent of 2.3 million meals per year. A majority of the produce we intercept is perishable items such as fruit & vegetables, and bakery goods. However, we also intercept frozen meat & fish, chilled dairy items and non perishable items such as dry goods, drinks and confectionary. In 2022 SToP aims to become the U.K.s largest caterer of events using intercepted produce. From weddings, to conferences, birthdays and work lunches, we wish to provide environmental alternatives to mainstream providers of contract catering. Our mission is to Feed Bellies Not Bins, whilst educating people on the inhumane amounts of edible food wasted every year in the U.K. All of our spaces are inclusive, and all the food we intercept is available to all. "Let's REALLY feed the world" #SToP wasting food #FeedBelliesNotBins
