SURPLUS TO SUPPER TRUST CIO 

Surplus to Supper is a charity working locally, with a mission statement to bridge the gap between food waste and food poverty. We take surplus food from across the food industry and provide it to local front-line charities and community groups and therefore provide relief to people who are in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship and social circumstances.
