Help revive surplus fruit & veg every Tuesday. Scrub in, sort it out, and fight food waste hands-on!
About this Event

Description:

Join us every Tuesday for an open session of hands-on volunteering, where we sort surplus fruit and vegetables to ensure nothing goes to waste!

Whether it's trimming leaves, separating good from bad, or simply sharing stories while working side-by-side, your help makes a real difference in getting fresh produce to where it's needed most.

No experience needed - just a pair of willing hands and a good attitude.

***This is a drop in session - while it would be great if you could be there at the beginning, coming along at ANY time in the session is fine***

What to Expect:

  • A warm welcome and a quick intro at the start.
  • Hands-on sorting and light prep of surplus produce.
  • A friendly, relaxed environment with like-minded people. Plenty of time to relax during and after the session.
  • Tea, coffee, fruit & veg (obviously!) & good vibes provided!

Details:

  • When: Every Tuesday
  • Time: 5:30pm meet for a 6pm - 8pm surgery
  • Where: Streetbox London (151 Stamford Hill, N16 5LG)
  • Who it's for: Anyone who wants to lend a hand! Suitable for individuals, corporate volunteers, or community groups.
  • What to bring: Just yourself! (Aprons and gloves provided, but feel free to bring your own.)
  • Access: Our space is only accessible by stairs at the moment (we're working on it)


Why It Matters:By helping us sort surplus fruit and veg, you're playing a key role in preventing food waste and supporting local communities with fresh, nutritious produce. You'll also get a chance to apply other skills in finding the best ways we can tackle gluts of food quickly.
