About Food Works Sheffield

Food Works is an organisation with a purpose. We want to create a world where food is produced and used sustainably, meaning that everyone can enjoy food that respects and nourishes the individual, the community and the natural environment. We are a volunteer led organisation with a small staff team facilitating the work of hundreds of volunteers. Most of our work focuses on redistributing and upcycling around 1000 tonnes of surplus food per year to the people in Sheffield. We do this through our Food Hubs, which involve: Food Works Kitchen - Using catering skills to upcycle surplus and locally grown ingredients. Food Works Market - Collecting and organising surplus to make this available to the people of Sheffield through Surplus and Patron boxes. Food Works Farm - Growing food locally. Food Works Community - Building and developing our community of volunteers, customers and supporters. What it means to be a social enterprise.
