information DESCRIPTION

Our main game is to reduce Food Waste in the local area. This comes from a desire to respond to the Climate Emergency in a practical, urgent way.

We want to increase awareness in the community about the environmental impact of food waste and inspire positive changes to behaviour.

We hope to address issues of food poverty as part of this project and reach those in our community who are most in need of food.

Everyone is welcome at our project, there is no stigma to collecting food and we will make it fully accessible.

We aim to become a linked in part of the community project ecosystem in Portobello, receiving active support from local organisations like Action Porty, the Town Hall, the Wash House, the Timebank and PEDAL.

Our ultimate vision is to prevent food waste whilst creating a sociable space for the community to cook, eat and share food.

We will be mindful of our carbon use and the impact of our activities. We intend to increase our use of cargo bikes in collecting and delivering food.
