A charity that redistributes surplus supermarket food to disadvantaged families is facing closure as it struggles to access funding.
Woolven is also urging families impacted by the end of its food collections from supermarkets to contact their local councillors and MPs “to encourage them to support other organisations who will now experience more pressure due to the ending of our collections”.

A charity that redistributes surplus supermarket food to disadvantaged families is facing closure as it struggles to access funding.
Havens Food Cooperative in Newhaven, Sussex, which was set up five years ago and collects more than 150 tonnes of food from 19 supermarkets a year, said it will stop collecting donations at the end of this month “due to a lack of funding”.
