Transforming Lives with Surplus Food: New Ethos Nottingham’s Remarkable Impact Report
In the heart of Nottingham, there is a transformative force making waves in community empowerment and sustainability. We're talking about New Ethos Nottingham Housing, a committed and vibrant organisation devoted to aiding those in need and nurturing the environment. The recent impact report we received from Neighbourly, our esteemed partner, tells a compelling story of positive change and tangible results. It’s not just numbers; it’s about the lives touched, the community lifted, and the environment preserved.
Bridging the Gap with Surplus Food Donations
At the heart of New Ethos Nottingham Housing’s mission is the collaboration with Neighbourly, the brilliant organisation connecting us with supermarkets offering surplus food donations. Neighbourly is more than a facilitator; it's a catalyst for change, enabling us to convert surplus food that might have ended up in landfill into nourishing meals for those in need.
