Yesterday a team from our Sheffield office volunteered for the day at Food Works Sheffield.

Food Works is a Sheffield based social enterprise building a better food system. They want food to connect us, nourish everyone in their communities, and help regenerate our planet. They grow food, cook meals, and reduce food waste by working with communities and partners across the city to make good food accessible to all.

Linear's team were based at the Handsworth warehouse, which is where they collect, store and redistribute surplus food through the market and local food cafés.

They started the morning packing patron boxes, refilling the market stall and loading boxes for delivery to the cafés. They then helped the regular volunteers at the market stall, assisting customers, restocking shelves and filling up the freezer.

Food Works also offer Just Meals, which are healthy, chef-prepared frozen meals that help reduce food waste and come in compostable packaging. These are £1.50 each (although you can donate more if you wish) - our team took some away to try!

Well done to our team, a great day's work.
