There are over four million vulnerable people in the UK who cannot afford a healthy diet. Yet thousands of tonnes of in-date food are wasted each year due to packaging errors, out of date promotions and shape standards. We want to save food and change lives.

More than 8 million people in Britain live in households that struggle to put enough food on the table, with over half regularly going a whole day without eating, according to estimates of hunger in the UK. New research from food waste prevention experts, WRAP, estimates that 1.9 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK grocery supply chain every year. So….we have hungry people juxtaposed with massive food waste. Common sense suggests putting the two together to work for the good of all.
We save good food destined for waste and send it to charities and community groups who transform it into nutritious meals or pack it into foodbank boxes for vulnerable people. The food we redistribute is fresh, quality and in date surplus from the food industry. But it’s about more than meals. The organisations we supply food to are places that provide life changing support, as well as food. We are a unique supplier to day care centres, lunch clubs, drop-in centres and breakfast clubs.
