Food Market

Every year Food Works recovers hundreds of tonnes of unused food from businesses and producers. They make sure this food is put to good use, preserving the time and energy that has gone into producing it. This reduces the environmental impact of our food.

If you want to know more about redistributing your surplus food through Food Works, please contact info@thefoodworks.org
