Do You Hate Food Waste?
Join Abundance, a local project that saves surplus food from gardens, allotments, and street trees. We harvest and redistribute fresh, organic produce that would otherwise go to waste—and you can help!
How You Can Get Involved:
-
Volunteer: Spend a couple of hours outdoors picking fruit (mainly from fruit trees). We provide all the equipment. It's a great way to meet people and enjoy some of the harvest.
-
Share Locations: Let us know about trees with fruit that might go to waste.
-
Take Fruit: Collect at least 5kg of fruit (mostly apples and pears) to use yourself or share with others.
-
Spread the Word: Help us find more trees to harvest.
-
Make Juice: Join us at local events to create fresh apple juice or borrow our press to make your own.
