Warm Space - North Lincolnshire Food Club

Aim

We need your help to offer free family cooking sessions, making fresh, healthy and sustainably sourced meals together using surplus food.

Who are we?

We are Slow Circular Earth.

* We inspire and empower women and children to create their own communities, developing an eco mindset with integrity. Together we build communities that flourish on purpose and in harmony with nature by merging the best of the past with green innovation.

* We are all about SHE, sustainability, honesty and empowerment

* We are creating a platform for practical climate action within our communities. 

We are based in North Lincolnshire but cover Greater Lincolnshire and The Humber.

We are creating a network of likeminded individuals.

We are partnered with Greater Lincolnshire Food Partnership. Together we are creating a local food eco-system.

Community impact

We created Slow Circular Earth to grow a community and to spark creative solutions to sustainable living. Through connection we learn together and create the world we yearn for one individual, one family, one community at a time.

Zero Waste Café Pop Up is a not-for-profit initiative that travels to local communities, events to go straight to the heart of communities to empower individuals, homemakers and community groups with the skills and knowledge they need to live sustainably.

The mobile pop-up café gives communities and individuals the opportunity to enjoy delicious ‘plant-based zero-waste’ treats whilst learning practical and fun ways to save money, the planet, and live sustainable empowered lives.

Utilising our Zero Waste Cafe Pop Up to go out to the community to deliver workshops as part of festivals and local events, including the following:

•           Food clubs

•         Pallet building

Why are we crowdfunding?

Slow Circular Earth launched North Lincolnshire's very own Food Club as part of their warm space initiative, the Zero Waste Cafe Pop Up has been held at St Mary’s Church Hall, Barton-Upon-Humber. This is a social community cafe offering a free family social cooking event showing how to plan and make fresh, healthy and sustainably sourced meals that come with recipe bags to take home for a small donation. All are welcome.  With FREE hot and cold drinks and fruit available.

Our project has been warmly received and we would like to continue for the remainder of the year.  To enable us to do this and to support more people we need to expand our amounts of equipment and to establish dates for the coming year.

How we’ll spend the money raised

• We are establishing a Food Club for 2023.  It will run once a month. It will be run from a low cost space within a Church hall - Room Hire 
• We collect surplus food donations from local shops - pay volunteer travel expenses and a small Project Coordination fee 
• Purchase more equipment - Portable Induction Hobs, Large Pans / Woks / Chopping Boards, Knives
