Bellies Not Bins
A single mum of five from Sheffield and a café in Chester-le-Street are both finding ways of tackling the cost of living crisis by stopping food from going to waste.
Danielle from Sheffield is a single mum of five, and like many she has struggled to put food on the table recently. Last year, she discovered an app on her phone that allowed her to get free food that has changed her and her children’s lives.
After years of hardship, Ronnie has made a new life for herself as a chef at the Refuse café in Chester-le-Street, where she teaches women to cook delicious soul food using ingredients that would have normally gone to waste. One of the women in Ronnie’s class is Kamara, who Ronnie helps to prepare fresh meals as she strives towards getting back into work.
Richard and Tracey are food waste volunteers who pick up food waste from supermarkets and distribute it within the community.
