What can we do?

Every day, perfectly good food goes to waste and thousands of people in Southampton go hungry. By working with The Big Difference, businesses can ensure that surplus food reaches those who need it most rather than going to landfill.

Working together, we help reduce food waste, strengthen communities and create measurable social and environmental impact across Southampton.

Our partnerships support businesses in achieving their sustainability, environmental and community goals while helping thousands of people access affordable food each week.

If you’re a food provider looking to make a big difference, get in touch with us today for more information on how your business can fill plates across Southampton.

Every month, we rescue up to 40 tonnes of surplus food from going to landfill.

That’s equivalent to 95,000 meals.
