ShopWise in Sheerwater
FoodWise, a pioneering, Surrey-based charity, has moved into the former nursery building off Blackmore Crescent where it has opened it very first eco food store.
The ShopWise store will be stocked with food items, which for various reasons (think wonky veg and imperfect packaging), didn’t make onto supermarket shelves and would otherwise be chucked away. The shop is for anyone who wants to help save the planet, cut food waste and pick up a basket of goods for a great price.
This is a pilot project and FoodWise wants input from the community to help refine and grow its offer. Please share your ideas below.

Food that isn’t going to be sold, but which is still edible, is called surplus food. Food becomes surplus for simple reasons such as over-production, labelling errors or short shelf-life.
What food items would you like to see in the ShopWise eco store if there is a surplus?
