Good food shouldn’t go to waste! Free food available at eight sessions across the local area every week.

Our Community Food Share project helps reduce the amount of good food going to waste.

What is the Community Food Share?

The Food Share rescues surplus food and distributes it to the community. Our food comes from:

  • Supermarkets & shops
  • Local food producers
  • Cafés and restaurants
  • Community donations

How Does It Work?

  1. Just turn up – no registration, no paperwork, no proof needed
  2. Bring a bag
  3. Choose your food – take what you need and will use

You might find:

  • Fresh fruit & vegetables
  • Bread & bakery items
  • Dairy products
  • Frozen foods and meat
  • Cut flowers
  • And lots more!
