Selsey-based Nature’s Way Foods has partnered with Chichester charity UKHarvest to tackle food waste.
The initiative ensures surplus but edible food that cannot be sold is donated to the charity, helping people access affordable meals while reducing waste.
To launch the partnership, a Surplus Lunch was held at Selsey’s Community Food Hub at Beacon Church, where more than 50 residents and volunteers enjoyed nutritious dishes made from rescued ingredients.
Armelle Owen-Navet, People Experience Partner at Natures Way Foods, and key instigator in the collaboration share that “Here at Natures Way Foods, our Charity and Community partnerships have been intrinsic to our 31-year history, and we are now proud to launch our partnership with UKHarvest.
UKHarvest rescues and redistributes food within our local region of Chichester where our 4 sites are based. Launching our partnership by providing lunch to UKHarvest’s customers and with a team of volunteers and helping at the Selsey Community Food Hub was a fantastic opportunity to support the charity and those who truly benefit from it. “
Speaking with Colin Smith, Chief Execturive Office at Natures Way Food, Colin said that “At Natures Way Foods, we believe we all share a responsibility in the fight against food waste. Partnering with UKHarvest means surplus food can be used to support local communities rather than going to waste. Launching our partnership with a community lunch in Selsey was a proud
moment for us, and it was inspiring to see the positive impact it had. We’re grateful to UKHarvest for the vital work they do and delighted to be on this journey together.”
