Preventing food waste, assisting the community with food support and helping the environment. A project of the Havens Community Hub established April 2020.

Fighting waste, feeding communities

26/10/2026

Last week Havens Community Hub had the pleasure of attending Community Action's Celebrating Communities 2026 event.

We were delighted to have our project Havens Food Cooperative recognised in the Food Awards as a sustainable food project, highlighting the positive impact it continues to have within the community.

The award reflects the hard work and dedication of the whole team from volunteers to partner stores, and of course supporters who help make the project possible. Together, we are fighting waste and feeding the community!

Thank you to Community Action for hosting such an inspiring event and congratulations to all the wonderful projects awarded and in attendance, it was inspiring to learn about so many positive projects in the community.

We are happy to support all the local foodbanks - and over a dozen other 'pop-up pantries' including Peacehaven Town Council's warm hub, Seahaven Community Food, Newhaven Baptist Church, Hillcrest Community Centre, Havens Happy Clubs and many more - as well as hundreds of households every week.

WANTED not WASTED
BELLIES not BINS
