campaign for WASTE NOT WANT NOT BATTERSEA
Waste Not Want No Battersea has been in operation since 2017. We collect surplus food from nearby markets and distribute it through the local community. We partner with youth clubs, homeless kitchens and schools to ensure that perfectly edible and nutritious food does not become waste and instead is channelled for the benefit of our local community.
During the first lockdown we scaled up our operations massively, to feed as many people possible who were struggling due to the effects of COVID 19. We began running food sharing sessions 5 days a week and delivering cooked meals to people who were vulnerable or self isolation.
Many in our community are still in need of fresh fruit, vegetables and other produce to supplement their weekly shopping. We want to keep running food sharing sessions five days a week, in locations across Battersea to save food from going to waste and to combat food poverty.
However, the COVID crisis also meant that we have lost a huge source of funding from catering jobs. Therefore we are fundraising to cover the cost of our operations, and to allow us to hire dedicated staff to coordinate food sharing and deliveries.
Thank you in advance for your contribution, every donation is a huge help.
