Company activities and impact

During the financial year, Waste to Plate Community Projects CIC's primary activity was the delivery of the Warmth in a Bowl initiative, which was established in response to the increasing cost of living and its impact on access to healthy, nutritious food. The project specifically supported two groups within the local community: people aged over 60 who had lost their Winter Fuel Allowance and were struggling to afford regular healthy hot meals, and young people in Years 10 to 13 sitting external examinations who did not always have access to consistent, nutritious meals during this important period. To help address this need, the CIC provided recipients with a free soup maker, rescued surplus food, and a starter pack containing essential store cupboard ingredients such as stock, salt and pepper. Ongoing top-up packs of rescued ingredients were also provided, enabling recipients to prepare regular, nutritious homemade soup at little or no cost. By combining practical equipment with surplus food, the project improved access to healthy meals while reducing food waste and encouraging the sustainable use of food that would otherwise have been wasted. During the financial year, the CIC distributed 84 soup makers, directly benefiting 239 local residents. As part of the initiative, approximately 0.5 tonnes of rescued surplus food was shared each week with participating households, ensuring they had a regular supply of ingredients to prepare healthy homemade soup while preventing good-quality food from going to waste. The initiative therefore delivered both a social benefit, by improving access to nutritious meals during the cost of living crisis, and an environmental benefit through the rescue and redistribution of surplus food. The success of the Warmth in a Bowl initiative has also helped shape the CIC's future direction. During the year, the company developed plans to expand its community benefit by creating projects that rescue larger quantities of surplus food and process them into smaller, more manageable portions for households, community fridges, food banks and other community organisations. These projects will help maximise the amount of edible food redistributed, reduce unnecessary food waste, educate communities about making better use of surplus food, and increase access to affordable, nutritious food for those who need it most. Throughout the financial year, the CIC operated solely for community benefit, delivering practical support to vulnerable members of the community while laying the foundations for wider initiatives that will continue to reduce food waste, strengthen community resilience and improve access to healthy food.
