GIVE SURPLUS FOOD

Work with us

We work with farms, wholesalers, manufacturers and more. We can accept good to eat food in two ways:

One-off donations

We can take one-off donations as a collection or delivery. This might be from a specific event or due to seasonal changes.

Regular Donations

We can set-up regular collections or deliveries at a frequency that works for you, to help you reduce your regular wastage.

Get your surplus food to those who need it most

Over 13 million people in the UK experienced food insecurity in Janaury 2023. Yet more than £19 million worth of food is wasted every year here in the UK.

We need your help to ditch that trend.

Last year we redistributed 900 tonnes of good to eat surplus food

We will collect your surplus free of charge and get it to those most in need through our network of charities and community groups. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to deliver the food?

We can arrange collection from you or you can deliver to our warehouse in Guildford or Brighton. 

What kinds of food can you accept?

We accept all kinds of fresh, frozen, ambient and chilled food and drinks. Including food to go, bulk ingredients and unfinished products. 

What if the food is coming to the end of its use by date?

We may be able to accept food if it has passed its best-before date in line with our our Best Before Dates Policy.

Let us know you have surplus food

Thank you to our suppliers. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the surplus food we receive from them.
