Numerous times when going away I have opened the fridge door on the day before travel only to find a fridge full of food! Ive always managed to give some away to neighbours, however sometimes they are not in or away themselves and without pacing the streets looking suspicious, realistically sometimes this food goes to waste. I've always hated this concept especially as we now hear on the news that Food Banks are low on stock or just dont have nice things in them. Not only that, but i hate wastage and it also feels like i'm losing money by throwing food away.
My idea was to solve all of these issues by creating a platform where you could list food locally for below market value and not only reduce wastage, but also earn a little bit of money back, along with helping those low on means. It also serves another purpose as those that are short on time and low on stick of their own food, can shop round the neighbourhood locally rather than travelling miles to shops
Any funds raised would go towards platform development, marketing and PR as we feel this really has social intentions. We aim to work with Shelter to help bring food to the homeless or those with extremely limited means so that they can care for their children.
