Food support
Surplus food from markets, supermarkets and suppliers, shared with families across the North East.


We run surplus food programmes across Newcastle and Gateshead, connecting food suppliers with the communities that can use high-quality food that would otherwise be thrown away.
In Newcastle and Gateshead, regular collections of bread and pastries – supported by volunteers from Olio – bring fresh products to families, cut carbon emissions and raise awareness of food waste.
