The Real Junk Food Project’s philosophy is feeding bellies not bins, using food that has been diverted from landfill and turning it into great meals and re-distributing any surplus food in the local community. The café is an open, welcoming space where our visitors can leave their story at the door and sit and chat to one another.

About
The Real Junk Food Project aims to:
- To provide affordable and healthy food to those subject to food poverty, including the homeless, low income families, the elderly and people on their own.
- To provide a warm, non-judgemental space in which people are made to feel welcome and able to pay their way (‘pay as you feel’).
- To promote links with the local community, by raising the community spirit and bringing people together.
- To educate the public in matters relating to food waste and the impact on the environment.
- To operate on principles of zero food wastage and self-sustainability.
