UKHarvest Community Food Hubs
ALL residents are welcome to visit the child-friendly Community Food Hubs that are designed to reduce food waste. The Hubs also offer recipes and host information stands and visitors to support on various subjects; budgeting, wellbeing, Citizens Advice and waste prevention.
For a small voluntary donation, residents will be able to bring their own bag to pick up a wide selection of surplus foods (largely fresh fruit & veg, bread, dried goods and some frozen) which would have otherwise ended up as waste from suppliers.
Thanks to an ongoing successful collaboration with West Sussex County Council (WSCC), UKHarvest have designed ‘Fight Against Food Waste’. A print and downloadable booklet offering support to all wanting to reduce food waste at home – www.ukharvest.org.uk. With Storrington Community Food Hub taking place once a month, we would like Storrington residents to come along and collect their copy.
All dates and details and more information is posted on both UKHarvest and the WSCC webpages: www.ukharvest.org.uk/community & www.westsussex.gov.uk/UKHarvest

The Horsham District Older Peoples Forum (HDOPF) is an independent, non-political, voluntary group that is free to attend and participate in. It acts as the ‘ears’ and gives a ‘voice’ to people aged 60 and over who reside in the Horsham District Council area or care for someone who is. The forum is open to anyone to raise issues affecting local older people. The Forum holds quarterly public meetings within the district. We take action where possible on issues raised, e.g., by engaging with local councils or with a project. We also act as an information hub and consultative group for anyone seeking the views of older people in the district on particular plans, topics, or schemes that may affect older people.
The Forum is working towards an ‘Age-Friendly’ and ‘Dementia Friendly’ Horsham.
