The Magic Hat Cafe

by The Magic Hat Cafe in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, United Kingdom

We did it
On 8th December 2018 we successfully raised £22,090 with 424 supporters in 28 days

We want to open a permanent pay-as-you-feel cafe serving food saved from landfill. We need your help to cover the costs for the first year!

Went to the early pop up events, suggest that in your cafe that you have food waste items for sale such as the jams and chutneys.
