Sussex Surplus has now become an independent Community Interest Company (CIC). You can find out more about this exciting milestone here.
Sussex Surplus is building a thriving local food economy by creating employment opportunities and providing nutritious meals and products, powered by surplus produce.
At the same time, many young people, especially those who are neurodiverse, face barriers to meaningful employment and training opportunities.
Using surplus food from local farms, wholesalers and allied organisations, the project offers community meals and stocks a community fridge at it’s base in the Bristol Estate Community Hub in East Brighton. Sussex Surplus empowers neurodiverse young people through meaningful employment opportunities, hands-on culinary training, and workplace skills. By making long-life products and offering event catering, it’s a growing social enterprise.
It’s a powerful recipe for reducing waste, building skills and confidence, and strengthening local food resilience.
