Working for REfUSE

We intercept tonnes and tonnes of perfectly good food that has wrongly been labelled ‘worthless’ due to systemic problems such as overproduction, strict cosmetic standards, damaged packaging, incorrect labelling, seasonal packaging, best-before dates, cancelled orders… etc.

REfUSE is based in Chester-le-Street: in April 2018 we launched a creative and inclusive ‘Pay As You Feel’ community cafe on the high street. We also run restaurant nights, education projects, and a supported volunteering scheme.

We are raising awareness and engagement about the climate and ecological impact of food waste, building community and providing healthy food and good company to anyone that wants it.
