Waste into Wellbeing (WIW), is a volunteer led project in the heart of Kendal. We’re creating a vibrant and resilient community by bringing people together around good food.

Surplus food collected from local supermarkets, shops and eateries which would otherwise be wasted is served as delicious meals in Kendal People’s Café or shared with others through the community larder. We also host a community kitchen, offering training opportunities and social events.

Hosted by community-based charity, South Lakes Action on Climate Change towards transition (SLACCtt), WIW is delivering an important environmental impact by providing a solution to reduce food waste, a significant contributor to Green House Gas emissions through landfill.
