Information
Did you know that 30% of the UK’s food goes to waste?
At the same time, many families are struggling to put food on the table. In the Harrogate district, research shows that one in five children are living in poverty – that means more than 5,700 children are growing up in a household that may not be able to afford enough to eat.
Resurrected Bites was founded to change this. They want to fill bellies not bins: to ensure good quality food does not go to waste, and to support individuals and families at the same time.
They intercept ingredients that were destined for landfill and use them to create delicious dishes in their cafés, sold on a ‘give as you can’ basis.
Alongside this, they have a community groceries scheme, enabling people to access good quality food for themselves and their families at an affordable price.
