Shout out to 🌏🌱

“Food poverty in the UK is something that really should not exist but it does. The work they do to reduce its impact on society is essential.

In a city as vibrant as ours, the co-existence of food poverty and food waste is a paradox we simply cannot ignore. Tonnes of perfectly good, fresh food are wasted every day, while millions of people struggle to access a healthy meal.

This is a problem we must all acknowledge. At City Harvest, we’ve found a partner that shares our values.”
- Mark Broomfield, Planet Organic MD

Like us, Planet Organic believes wellness goes beyond the table, it’s about caring for our communities and our planet 🌏

“I see myself like an emergency service, almost like an ambulance, fire brigade or police. It’s like we are policing hunger, and we need to be out there no matter what.” 🚨

City Harvest has worked with premium manufacturer, , since our inception. Congratulations are in order for Charlie and the team, who have reached the incredible milestone of Zero Edible Food Waste in August 2025 - an industry first 🥇

In over 10 years of partnership, City Harvest has worked with Charlie Bigham's to rescue surplus food to deliver over 700,000 meals to our network of community partners. Bigham's has provided surplus sauces, chicken wings, and pastry offcuts - all packaged, collected and redistributed seamlessly because the team has integrated surplus food redistribution into its supply chain.

We're proud to work with Charlie Bigham's and would love to help more manufacturers reduce their edible food waste via our redistribution solution. Speak to our team now at [email protected]
