Waste into Wellbeing

New website coming soon

Waste into Wellbeing is a volunteer led, social project at the heart of Kendal. We’re creating a vibrant and resilient community by bringing people together around good food.

Surplus collected from local supermarkets, shops and eateries, which would otherwise be wasted, is served as delicious meals in Kendal People’s Café and our Lunch Bunch events or shared with others through the community larder. We also host a community kitchen, offering training opportunities and social events.

Hosted by community-based charity, South Lakes Action on Climate Change towards transition (SLACCtt), WiW is delivering an important environmental impact by providing a solution to reduce food waste, a significant contributor to GHG emissions.

Exciting plans ahead

A new website is not the only thing we’re busy working on. In spring 2024, we plan to move into our new home at The Eddington, Highgate, Kendal (the site of the old United Reform Church).
