Group aims to serve up discarded food

anon@indymedia.org (SharingSherwood) | 15.11.2013 22:55

Sunday 8th December sees the official launch of Sharing Sherwood, a project that aims to use up food that would otherwise have been thrown away by Supermarkets.

Sharing Sherwood hopes to prepare delicious meals on the 2nd Sunday of every month for the local community to come and enjoy at The Sherwood Cookery Workshop on Mansfield Road. There is no set menu and there is no set price, with any donations being given towards projects such as Nottingham's food banks. The food to be used has been possible thanks to national charity FareShare, who collects and co-ordinates the food donated by supermarkets and shops. The event will start at 7pm, and people are encouraged to bring their own drinks. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about how to reduce food waste and food bills in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, enjoying some delicious food.

I assume this will be a Vegan event with no dead animal flesh to upset things ?

Caring person

however, is sherwood really the place where such a valuable service could be best utilised?

for example, would not the residents of st anns, the meadows, forest fields and radford, not to mention sneinton and lenton, be better served by this project, being that those areas are higher unemployment, more bored youth, more poor single people and more crime and poverty, where the cuts are doing the worst imaginable?

sherwood is 'frightfully middle class' in most areas and it would be a shame to see purely middle class people visiting this project instead of a good mix of genuinely struggling people from all classes and backgrounds that NEED the food.

just saying.

I wouldn't start it up in St Ann's

I used to live on Woodborough Road next to St Ann's in ~2004.

I walked through St Ann's a couple of times to get a rental car. What an experience. A prostitute getting it on with someone in a phone box, dickheads walking around with knives, several drunks and a car on fire. People who lived there that I knew just wanted more from the state purely through entitlement than actual need.

This isn't poverty. These people don't want to better themselves. These is not a crisis of opportunity. I was brought up in Islington in the 1970s when it was a shithole worse than this. I had no opportunities but bettered myself and although with no qualifications I manage to get by in a nice bit of London comfortably without claiming a penny of benefits even for my disabled daughter and wife. It is hard work but they wouldn't know that.

Sherwood is the right place as it's far enough away from people who will cause trouble and close enough for people who will benefit from it.

In the middle of Carrington would be taking the piss though.
