Argos Cameron Toll (Inside Sainsbury's)

We turn surplus food into healthy meals for those who need them. Since April 2020, we've provided over 1.8 million meals free of charge. In its most simple terms, we turn surplus food into nourishing meals for people that need them, free of charge and without judgement. By making our service available to all, without the need to prove need, we reach some of the most marginalised people across Edinburgh. We believe nourishing food is a basic human right and there should be no barriers to accessing it. Our core service is the delivery of a 'Day Pack', which comprises a day’s worth of nourishing meals. Community volunteers then package these meals ready for delivery across Edinburgh.

Bridgend Farmhouse located in south-east Edinburgh is a thriving community hub and social enterprise, for learning, eating and exercise with the aim of developing a flourishing community and place.
