| Summary ofthe main achievements ofthe charity during the year |
Still Good Food has continued to go from strength to strength over the last year. We have seen a significant increase in customer numbers reaching a peak of900a month in March 23across both our shops. We |
||||||
| increased our opening hours at our Great Barton shop in May 22 by |
|||||||
| opening on an additional day and this rural location continues to be very |
|||||||
| well used. | |||||||
| Our Community Fridge, hosted by Freedom Cafe, has proved to be very |
|||||||
| popular and well used. We have found accessing chilled foods quite |
|||||||
| difficult as suppliers are reluctant to donate chilled items and we are |
|||||||
| restricted by Use Bydates. |
|||||||
| Having secured the lease on an additional unit next to our existing unit |
in | ||||||
| Elsey's Yard, in December 2022 we moved our shop next door to the | |||||||
| newly refurbished unit and turned our existing unit into storage space. |
|||||||
| We were able to include a fridge and freezer in our new shop which | |||||||
| proved to be very popular but continue toface the challenge of limited |
|||||||
| supplies of chilled orfrozen foods. |
|||||||
| We have continued to recruit volunteers and now have approximately |
45 | ||||||
| regular volunteers to supervise the shops and collect and transport stock |
|||||||
| donations. | |||||||
| We employed a part time Stock Coordinator in April 2022 which has |
|||||||
| greatly helped with our stock management and distribution between our |
|||||||
| two shops. We have continued tosee an increase in donated stock and |
|||||||
| have welcomed new suppliers who donate their surplus food to us on |
a | ||||||
| regular basis. | |||||||
| Our Farm Produce Rescue/Gleaning project continued to grow and we |
|||||||
| were able to collect and redistribute over 7tonnes offarm produce |
|||||||
| including apples, pears, onions and cabbages that would otherwise have |
|||||||
| been unharvested or ploughed back into the fields. This produce was |
|||||||
| distributed through our shops to our customers and also to other local |
|||||||
| charities. | |||||||
| In November 2022 we received the Suffolk Greenest County Award in |
the | ||||||
| Waste Reduction and Recycling category for the second year running. |
|||||||
| We have been involved in a number ofevents to highlight the problem |
of | ||||||
| food waste and to encourage people to get involved in reducing food |
