Residents at an extra care housing site gained a vibrant community restaurant serving healthy meals from food that would otherwise go to waste, thanks to local public and community anchor organisations taking a cooperative, community wealth-building approach to local economic development.
From May 2023, Waste 2 Taste will be providing affordable and ethical food at Shotover View, serving residents and local people through a Community café, and providing a catering service committed to a vibrant, healthy and sustainable food culture.
The cafe will be highly sustainable, using food surplus for its main ingredients, and inclusive, providing a pathway into work to homeless and vulnerably-housed people through food- related mentoring and training opportunities.
The community café space and commercial kitchen is leased at no cost, under a cooperation agreement between Waste 2 Taste and a local housing association, bpha, which will enable Waste 2 Taste to grow as an ethical catering business.
