Havens Food Cooperative is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as finalists in the 2026 BBC Make A Difference Awards, a recognition that celebrates organisations making a powerful impact in their communities.

This nomination is for the Environmental Projects Category and shines a light on our ongoing mission to reduce food waste, protect the environment and support local residents through our surplus food redistribition initiative. It reflects the dedication of our volunteers, partners and supporters who make this work possible every day.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has championed us- from the local stores who donate surplus food, to the volunteers who give their time collecting it, and the community members who stand with us in support- Thank You to our wonderful community, what an honour it is to be nominated.
