Fitzjohns Community Food

Another great pop-up at Wallands School on Monday.

Thanks to Matt from Get Bikery for helping us move all this produce to the playground. It all went in a flash again.

We would really love some more volunteers for this pop-up. Are you a parent or carer with children at Wallands? Maybe you're free to help for an hour (or so) on Monday afternoons? It could even be something you do with your child to show them the value of volunteering and stopping food waste!

don't forget you can still vote for us with your blue token at Tescos, until the end of July!

Ancient + Brave volunteer session at Fitzjohns Community Food last week

09/06/2026

What a great day! Last week we hosted volunteers from Ancient + Brave who helped us cook over 50 meals from surplus food, packaged up over 200 packets of noodles and even made some DELICIOUS orange curd from all the leftover satsumas. Absolutely brilliant effort and super productive few hours.

Thank you to Christ Church Lewes who are so accommodating of us, we love working with them and they're running a great Community Cuppa session on Wednesday mornings too.

Chop & Chat sessions enable us to create meals with our surplus left overs. All ready to be frozen and handed out 😄

NO FOOD WASTE HERE 🙌

Another great pop-up at Wallands School yesterday. We will be there most Mondays with surplus food FREE for carers, teachers and children.

Donations are really welcome but the main priority here is to prevent food waste and make sure this food gets eaten!

We work with FareShare Sussex & Surrey who are a charity that redistributes food that otherwise might be wasted. What better way than to give it out at the school gates to all those children hungry from all the learning!!

(not on next week due to Bank Holiday, or the week after due to staff absence, but will be back in the playground on the 8th of June! Bring a bag and see you there!)
