Surplus to purpose
We intercept surplus food and redistribute it globally, whilst giving away free food to schools.

IMPORTANT: avoid Hudson Road, that entrance is blocked off and you will have to go all the way around. Instead, come up for Torre Road onto Trent Road - this is for both drivers and walkers. Here's a destination coordinate if you need one. 53.80043492069078, -1.5172614584617217

Surplus2Purpose is organisation that has a large impact locally, nationally and even internationally. The organisation intercepts items and food that would have otherwise gone to waste and repurposes them. In terms of food, this means intercepting food that has been overproduced, due to expire, or has been returned - and then this is provided at a heavy discount to the local community, repurposed for catering, or sent to internationally to where most needed (Ukraine, Yemen etc)

Most of the workforce is provided through volunteers and the organisation is constantly undergoing changes and intercepting surplus so additional volunteers are always appreciated and rewarded, you can convert the time you've volunteered into credits that go towards your bill so basically lots of free food and drink!

We will be meeting at the warehouse at Surplus To Purpose on Trent Road.

Please feel free to contact me using the contact button below but I will also send an email out the evening before with my phone number as the site can be a tricky for newcomers.
