SUMMARY:Nottingham Animal Rights Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Nottingham Animal Rights holds regular planning meetings. These meetings are for people who are involved or interested in animal rights activism. \nWe recognize that turning up to a meeting of complete strangers can be daunting\, but the atmosphere at NottmAR meetings is always very informal\, and by all means bring a couple of friends with you if it makes you feel more confident\, everyone is welcome! \nThe planning meetings are where you can obtain support from like minded people for campaigns against all forms of animal cruelty. \nThere is no hierarchy\, our broad scope is a consequence of a broad demographic of proactive members. Whether your interest is in countering the fur trade\, factory farming\, vivisection\, blood sports or (most commonly) all animal cruelty\, you will find campaigning opportunities as part of both local and national initiatives. \nAll our activities are 100% legal and non-violent\, we do public protests and other direct action\, we do information stalls\, we do free food give-aways\, we do sanctuary work\, and in fact anything else we can think of! \nYou can also find us on Facebook and Twitter. \nSee also NAR on the Animal Rights Calendar

SUMMARY:Community Food Hub
DESCRIPTION:We redistribute fresh foods from Foodprint and Sanatan Food Bank\, saving their surplus veg from going straight to landfill. \n\nPop in during the regular Sumac Sunday Brunch or Wednesday pop-up cafe & warm hub\, or at other times on our events diary.\n\n\n\nSUMAC FOOD REDISTRIBUTION\nFREE – PLEASE TAKE WHAT YOU CAN USE OR SHARE\n\nFood is a right\, not a privilege.\n\n\nFood poverty\, the inability to afford\, or to have access to\, food to make up a healthy diet\, affects 8-9% of the UK population. [Ref: Sustain]\n\n\nFood loss and waste accounts for 8-10% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. [Ref: United Nations UNFCCC]\n\n\nThe Sumac Community can play a valuable role in tackling food waste.\n\nSurplus foods are shared with Sumac by Sanatan Food Bank and FoodPrint. As well as being good for the Sumac Community\, we provide a valued service to them by helping reduce their waste\, which would otherwise go to landfill or incineration. \nThis\, together with an option of sharing our surplus with Sherwood Exchange and local animal rescues\, gives SIX opportunities for these foods to be consumed! \nIt is the obsession with perfection by the food industry and supermarkets that is driving the food waste crisis.\nThe planet benefits by surpluses being diverted from landfill\, even if it ultimately ends up making compost for the Sumac Garden. \nfood.gov.uk recommends a visual check or the ‘smell test’ to assess the quality of fruit and veg\, or packaged foods with a ‘best before‘ date. Packaged foods should not be given or taken if past its ‘use-by‘ date. Our volunteers make every effort to check that everything is edible\, vegan and not subject to an ethical boycott. Please draw any inappropriate goods to our attention. \nWe need more help. \nIf you value this initiative\, please ask how you can support our work. \n\nFor more information see the Community Food Hub post by Veggies.\n\nYou could also read or share the latest version of the Sumac Food Redistribution flier.\n
