4 Where do we get the food? Retailers Growers Manufacturers

5 Wrong label or barcode Why is the food surplus? Too many grown/ ordered/delivered Too big, too small, too strange Nearly out of date

6 Who gets the food? 33% We redistribute to centres that support vulnerable people Hostels * Women’s Refuges * Breakfast clubs * Drug rehabilitation * Community cafes * Soup kitchens * Older people’s luncheon clubs
