Care about the environment and reducing food waste? Love cooking and eating great food? Then come to the next free PACT Meal!

When food is thrown away, the carbon that went into growing, harvesting, storing, transporting and cooking it is wasted. PACT meals aim to reduce food waste, by working with local shopkeepers and food growers to source ingredients which would otherwise be thrown away and then combine it with our team of volunteers to make a delicious feast for the community.

PACT Meals are delivered in partnership with Transition Finsbury Park and the People's Kitchen. It is a free event and no meal is the same as ingredients available will vary and the volunteer chefs bring their imagination to rustle up ever more inventive recipes for the community to sample. If you'd like to volunteer with the cooking, please come from 10.30am to help make it a success and spread the good vibes. People who love to eat great food and want to enjoy sharing a meal and meeting new people, please come down for lunch from 12.30pm.

The venue is the Rose Garden just across from the residents Tower Block on Woodberry Grove in conjunction with the Hackney Playbus.  It will entice and engage the young children and families to take part and see locally sourced food products being turned into a healthy dishes for all to enjoy. Encouraging all to use food more sustainably.

Please feel free to invite all your friends and neighbours to this great community event.
