Too Good to Go

Did you know that there is in fact enough food in the world to feed everyone? According to the most recent report by the charity Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), the UK produced around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste in 2018. It is estimated that 70% of this total was intended to be consumed by people, with 30% classified as “inedible parts”.

Worldwide, one third of all food produced is lost or wasted –around 1.3 billion tonnes of food –costing the global economy close to $940 billion each year. Up to 10% of global greenhouse gases comes from food that is produced, but not eaten. One in nine people do not have enough food to eat, that’s 793 million people who are undernourished and if one quarter of the food currently lost or wasted could be saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million hungry people.

We have always given and donated our leftovers and “waste” to those less fortunate and the homeless but we want to do more and that is where you come in. We have joined the Too Good to Go intiative!

Every day, delicious, fresh food goes to waste at cafes, restaurants, hotels, shops and manufacturers – just because it hasn’t sold in time. The Too Good To Go app lets you buy and collect this food – at a great price – so it gets eaten instead of wasted. You won’t know exactly what’s in your order until you pick it up – it’s all part of the surprise. Download the app to get started.

Once you have it downloaded you can just search for Deliciously Gorgeous and are able to purchase one of our ‘Magic Bags’ which will contain things like sausage rolls, croissants, cakes and other delicious things. This bag costs just £5.

Don’t worry, we are still continuing to do our part to donate to food banks and the homeless but by joining Too Good to Go and offering you our magic bags, this will support us in doing more to help our community!
