Lifeafterhummus

Lifeafterhummus are a Community Benefit Society who provides food aid by operating a social supermarket and re-use centre for 80 local households and a redistribution network that supports 11 local hostels, 1 after-school club and a faith group. They also run passive clothing rails at 2 local nurseries, 1 local secondary school and 1 local library.

They were awarded funding again this year, this time for development of a reuse hub that looks to create long lasting behaviour change and waste prevention working with underrepresented Bengali and Somali community groups in Camden.

The reuse hub focused on redistributing surplus food and textiles, they approximated that they were diverting 150 - 200kg of household items per month. They were also able to use the funding towards ensuring all produce they bought for the hub were zero-waste, for instance washing up liquid and laundry powder.
