Help Tummies Not Trash find a permanent base
Donation protected
Hey everyone!
Tummies Not Trash are fundraising so that we can find a permanent base.
Currently we operate 364 days a year (only taking Christmas day off as none of our store partners are open) which puts enormous pressure on our volunteers, especially when there is a lot of surplus.
Over the month of December 2022 our small team was able to save over 16 Tonnes of surplus food that would have otherwise been thrown in the trash, which was then put to good use by families across west Edinburgh. So we would love to expand on that great work throughout 2023 and beyond!

Having a base would allow the charity to:
- Recruit more collection volunteers, meaning that we can save surplus food from more stores and encourage more community involvement
- Create volunteering opportunities for young people
- Provide a safe area to store and sort the food that we collect
- Increase the amounts and types of goods that we can collect as we’d have a space to store them safely
- Develop our partnerships, providing a permanent place to collect food from
- Provide a space for other sustainability projects to work from
Any contributions would be very gratefully appreciated by the organisation and will allow us to continue and expand the fantastic work our team has started.
