JS Green Plate Project CIC

Bournemouth, UK

We help for the parents, kids and our community with events, with fundraisings. In addition to our efforts in supporting schools and local community families with food donations, with collaborates closely with other charitable organizations: We're humans and Salvation Army BH1 project, Southbourne Community Hub. Whenever we find ourselves with an excess or leftover donation, we make it a point to share it with these organizations, ensuring that no resources go to waste. By doing so, we extend our reach and impact beyond our immediate community. Within the local schools and charities, the long shelf life donations we provide are primarily given to the family support workers. These dedicated individuals are able to quickly and efficiently distribute the donations to families in urgent need of assistance. It is through their efforts that our donations reach those who require immediate help. However, our donations do not solely serve as a source of sustenance. They also play a vital role in enhancing the educational experience for our students. Whether it's through our clubs or classes, we utilize the donated items creatively. For instance, as shown in the pictures, bananas and biscuits were transformed into a delectable banana ball, offering a hands-on learning experience for our students. Furthermore, flowers were utilized by one year group to explore the various parts of a plant, while another year group learned the importance of healthy eating through the provision of salad. The Bethany and St Clement's schools' after-school club also benefited from the donated items, using flowers for craft activities and even turning ice pops into a thrilling treasure hunting game. By integrating these donations into our educational programs, we not only provide nourishment for the students' bodies but also stimulate their minds and encourage creativity. Overall, our commitment to food donation extends far beyond the immediate needs of our local schools and local community. Through collaboration with other charities and the creative use of donations in educational settings, we strive to make a lasting impact on the lives of those we reach.
