Food Works Sheffield

We upcycle quality surplus and locally grown ingredients into delicious food and drink in our Community Cafes.

The food we create is also used in our Just Meals ready meals.

We collect and share surplus food at our Food Markets.

We develop hyperlocal food production through community growing on our Farm.

We empower people with skills, knowledge and support in our community with volunteering opportunities across all our sites.
