Thanks to the Cold Chain Federation for inviting us to #ColdChainLive❄ to talk about surplus food redistribution, and the positive impact it has for people👨👨👦👦, the planet 🌍 and our partners 🤝. Our Managing Director, Owen McLellan, and Community Shop’s Executive Chairman, Gary Stott, took to the stage to show how surplus redistribution not only reduces food waste but can also be used for good to support and empower people who need help.

We’re thrilled to be speaking at the BFFF Technical Conference in a few weeks time! Our Head of Partnerships, Charlotte Slack, will be sharing how we help the industry in reducing food waste with redistribution, and how we use surplus to transform lives with our award-winning social enterprise, Community Shop 🧡

It's been one year since opening our Community Shop in Eastfield, and we're proud to say there's already been a huge positive impact for the community🤝 Since opening, we've: 🎓 Ran over 1,300 personal development workshops 🍴Delivered over 1,200 cook clubs 🛒Provided our members with access to deeply discounted great quality food in our store, all powered by surplus. To celebrate, the Eastfield team put on a 'feast day' full of fun and food for the local community.🎉 We couldn't have done any of this without the support of our generous partners at McCain Foods who have gone above and beyond to support their local community through our sustainable, long-lasting model. ❤️

We want to fundamentally change the way businesses think about waste, as we think surplus is an opportunity! By recognising the potential of surplus we can: • Reduce unnecessary waste to help the planet 🌍 • Use it for families and communities who need it most👨👨👦👦 • Pay our partners with a financial return and invest in the industry long term💰 Together we can create a more sustainable world for the future. #thesurpluseffect
