Welcome to
MIDDLESBROUGH Environment City
Food often goes to landfill: It’s a sad fact of life, and one that costs the planet just as much as it costs our wallets. Supermarkets, if they have too much food, will often let a lot of good food go to waste: Food that is perfectly edible and can be used to fill bellies instead of bins!
We managed to collect a lot of pallets from P.D Ports, filled with tons of biscuits! Thanks to P.D Ports and our lovely staff (Pictured here are James and Rachael, hard at work!), these surplus biscuits won’t be clogging up landfill and contributing to excess waste: We collected the pallets and now they’re out in our local networks to be distributed to people! Cheers, we’ll raise a cuppa to that!

Another great session, led by Les and Kim (Communities Growing Together's own maestros of the kitchen) for some of the wonderful volunteers who assist with Communities Growing Together and on the Sandy Flatts Community Allotment!
They cooked up a crustless Pea, Mint and Feta quiche with accompanying side salads including a leafy green salad and a tomato & onion salad, as well as some minted new potatoes. For afters, they made a Mixed Berry Fool (using very much the same recipe we posted last week), and they even got started on making some hearty Tomato Soup for this Friday's Volunteer Action Day at Regeneration of Communities!
A busy day, but made a doddle by MEC's MVPs in Les & Kim! Well done to our dynamic duo, and thank you to those who came, enjoyed a social lunch and helped to make it as well! ... See MoreSee Less
