We’re taking part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge. For one week only, all donations towards our winter work will be matched by our generous match funders. Donate today.

Right now, 1 in 4 children across the South West are living in poverty. 

Together we can stop food from going to waste and get it where it should be – on people’s plates.
