Just Meals partner
Just Meals are unique zero waste and healthy ready meals that allow you to contribute into a better food system while enjoying convenient homecooked meals. Our meals are made using surplus and locally grown food, packaged in fully home compostable materials, creating a healthier planet. All meals are home cooked in our community cafes and available for a flexible contribution starting at only £1, creating fairer and healthier communities.
How does it work?
You can partner with us by being an access point for our Just Meals in your workplace, your school, your shop or community organisation. Our meals are for everyone and by contributing generously, you are supporting these meals also being affordable for those with less means, including our £0 meals for school children during the holidays.
What do I need?
All you need to work with us is a freezer to store your meals. If you’d like people to eat your meals on site you will also want an oven or microwave. We can deliver meals to you for free as long as you order over 25 per month, but you are welcome to collect them from any of our hubs directly if you don’t require that many meals. For payments you can either choose to collect these yourself and transfer them via a card payment online to us, or you can order a payment terminal from us which will take contactless payments directly at your site with no further intervention from you.
We have 2 hub types. Find out which one suits you best by viewing our Just Meals Information Sheet.

Corporate partnerships
There are many ways in which your business can be a part of Food Works. What is important to us is that your contribution is meaningful to you, as it will be to us. We are supporting communities across the Sheffield city region to feed themselves sustainably through food growing, cookery and reducing food waste. Help us build a better food system that looks after our planet and after our communities.
How does it work?
If you and your team are interested in getting involved with Food Works, we offer a range of corporate partnership options. Ranging from stocking our home cooked ready meals for your colleagues to purchase, signing up for a team participation day at our warehouse, cafes or farm, or making a direct contribution to support our work.
As well as getting hands-on, this is an opportunity to consider and discuss what more sustainable food means as a group.

Make a donation
We understand that getting out of the office for volunteering or team days isn’t always feasible – but there are still meaningful ways your business can support the vital work we do at Food Works.
By making a donation, you’re directly contributing to a more sustainable and fair food system. Your support helps us:
- Intercept surplus food for use in our community cafes and markets
- Grow fresh produce at our farm
- Prepare and serve nutritious meals to those who need them most
Every £10 donated enables us to save 15kg of perfectly good food from going to waste – enough to feed one person for an entire week!
Your business can be part of this powerful impact. Donations can be made quickly and easily via our webshop, or, if you’d like to discuss this further, please contact us at info@thefoodworks.org.
