Arran Eco Savvy is looking for Foodshare volunteers


Are you passionate about stopping good food from going to waste?

An incredible network of over 50 volunteers help keep our Arran Food Share scheme running every single week. Volunteers collect surplus food from the island’s Coop supermarkets and take it back to their villages to distribute within the local community, helping stop good food from going to waste

We’re currently looking for more volunteers to join our Food Share team in Brodick. Our amazing volunteers help collect orange-label and short-dated food from the Coop after 8pm and redistribute it within local communities across Arran.

Food Share now happens 7 nights a week across 8 villages, and thanks to our incredible volunteers we’ve already helped divert over £750,000 worth of food from being binned!

You must be comfortable driving to the Co-op for evening collections.

Interested in getting involved? Email zwc@arranecosavvy.org.uk for more information.

Check out the schedule to see when Food Share is available in your village
