We are a hub for local volunteers, activists, food businesses, charities and organisations tackling Brighton & Hove's food waste together.

We turn the city's surplus into a social resource, feeding bellies instead of bins.

Explore our menu to learn more, and join us.

Some facts on food waste...
- Brighton and Hove wastes well over 40,000 tonnes of food every year, half of it from businesses.
- An estimated 20 to 40% of UK fruit and vegetables are rejected before they even reach the shops because of cosmetic imperfections or overproduction.
- Restaurants and pubs waste 500,000 tonnes of food every year, amounting to 1 billion meals' worth and a loss of £2.5 billion annually.
- 5.8 million people in the UK live in ‘deep poverty’, and find it difficult to afford everyday essentials like food.
- Wasting food costs the average household between £480 and £680 for families with children...an average equivalent of £50 a month. This is a waste of our hard-earned money and effort.
