REfUSE
Every month, REfUSE collects around 15 tonnes of food, which would otherwise have been wasted, and redistributes it to people who need assistance.
The entrepreneurs in REfUSE save tons of food from ending up in the bin, at the same time helping to include and empower young people in a vulnerable life situation.
The core of the business, food rescue and food redistribution, is linked to a number of social initiatives in Durham outside Newcastle. The city is located in an area of England where there are major challenges with unemployment, poverty and growing disparities between people.
