Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Gemma
This morning two GoodGym Leeds members headed over to TRJFP. They helped to move bricks, wood, rubbish and more. By clearing the space, it can now be converted into a community garden. Despite the rain and mud, the GoodGym-ers were undeterred. They cleared the land well, getting it ready for a children's play area.
We hope to be heading back to TRJFP lots of times over the next few months to help them with their garden and new cafe venture!
The Real Junk Food Project is the founding Community Interest Company of The Real Junk Food Project global network and has empowered and inspired hundreds of similar projects worldwide. It is a revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome. Consisting of cafés, outside catering, events, Sharehouse: TRJFP and Kindness into Schools, it uses the Pay As You Feel Concept to utilise surplus food, educate the general public and campaign against global issues that food waste creates. We intercept surplus food from a wide range of places including supermarkets, restaurants, wholesalers, food banks, food photographers and using common sense and decades of experience make a judgement on whether the food is fit for human consumption.
