There's posh!

Our surplus food cafe has had a make-over during its post-festive closure.
Putting down our knives and ladles to pick up paintbrushes and hammers,  we have transformed the  premises with fresh paintwork, new lighting and a host of other improvements as befits its increasingly high profile as THE place to eat well and cheaply off comestibles that have been rescued from a fate worse than - well, being thrown out and dumped into landfill to produce yet more carbon to damage the atmosphere.

The cafe scooped a big prize in 2014 and  last year was included in a book and film about 21 transitional projects, launched at the COP21 climate conference. We hope that 2016 will see further success as we develop new ways to distribute surplus food and to engage the community in working towards sustainable living.  

Maybe 2016 will be the year YOU visit Transition Cafe? Or, better still, get involved in a similar project in your own area. It doesn't have to be about food. It could be to do with renewable energy, community gardening or other forms of recycling. In the end it's all about saving our world and making it a better place to live in, or indeed a place simply fit to live in.

Here's how it looked in the early stages. And here was the first fit-out. And many more blips of cafe's progress if you click on the tag.
