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.

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.
