Since November 2022, City Harvest has provided five of London Early Years Foundation’s settings with surplus food, which has been used to make over 60,000 meals for children, saving the social enterprise over £11,000 in the first five months (November – April).
The money saved through the scheme has been used to pay for 15 hours of nursery care, on top of the universal 15 hours, for a child attending LEYF’s Burgess Park nursery in Southwark.
The partnership is now being expanded to a further five settings, saving LEYF a total of £40,000, which will provide five children with a years’ worth of additional nursery hours.
