Using 100% food surplus on a strictly Pay-As-You-Feel (PAYF) basis, the cafes run by the project have intercepted close to 50 tonnes of food and fed thousands of people.
The Real Junk Food project intercept food from suppliers and farms which they can’t sell and would normally get binned, they cook it and sell it at ‘Pay as You Feel’ events.
