Best Before Café Community Interest Company
We rescued 82.9 tonnes of food and shared it with our community. We had 11K visits to the shop in the town centre in 2024/25. We continue to supply fresh food twice weekly to Letchworth & Hitchin Foodbanks. We also now supply Willian Foodbank with fresh fruit and veg once a week. We use our surplus money to keep Northfields infant school’s store cupboard Foodbank stocked. A supper club night raised funds for a food project in Icknield infant school’s Early Years unit. We have six food stalls in areas of social housing with a high density of children. These food stalls get the surplus we collect from Fare Share in Milton Keynes. We have a monthly membership with Fare Share which costs £600 a month. We receive 600kgs of surplus food a week from their warehouse in Milton Keynes.
