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

SUMMARY:Gladstonebury Festival - Sumac 25th Anniversary Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Sumac Centre is 25 this year.\nThe Rainbow Centre\, established in 1984\, relocated to the Sumac Centre in June 2001. \n*25th\, 26th\, 27th September*\nThree days of peace\, love and music at the  Sumac Centre\nPlease print and display the flier \nFriday 25th Sept \n\nKick off with an evening of Poets and Performers.\n\nSaturday 26th \n\nfeatures the Big Gig in the evening\, with Drivelheads\, The Sporadics and anarchistwood. Tickets are available from FIXR.\n\nSunday 27th \n\nAn all-day Acoustic Community Garden Party . Sunday Brunch\,  campaign stalls\,. many local acts film screenings\, Veggies Burger Bar\, Forest Fields Social Club.\nSunday also features a presentation by Sparrows Nest Library of their archive of over 2000 items from the Rainbow Centre\, in the prehistory of the Sumac Centre.\n\nFully detailed (draft) program further below. \n \nFrom Ned Ludd’s News\, published from the Rainbow Centre in 2002\, archived at Sparrows Nest Library (pdf) \n\nJune 2001: Work on the new independent community\, resource and centre at 245 Gladstone Street nears completion.\nFormerly the Rainbow Centre\, the name ‘The Sumac Centre’ has now been adopted after a shrub in the gardens. \nThe former Sitch Ukranian Social Club was purchased by the Rainbow Centre collective in June 2001. Major reconstruction work was undertaken by NECTA (Nottingham Environmental Construction Training for All) and other local trades people. Since then volunteers from the local community have worked on\, replacing floors\, walls\, ceilings\, doors\, windows\, stairs\, toilets\, electrics and plumbing! \nFinally the end is in sight.\nThe newly plastered walls and refurbished toilets are being‘ painted\, the community cafe is being built and the furniture fireproofed. Sufficient facilities are now completed for the centre to have hosted or booked meetings for local residents groups\, animal rights conferences\, training days\, environmental/roads gatherings and more. \nWith a final push it is hoped that the new centre will be ready to open during June\, after which work will continue for the planned Social Club. \nWith completion of this first phase so close supporters are urged to get involved\, both with the final works\, which continue on a daily basis\, and with planning the activities and running the centre once opened. \nAs there has been so much more work to be done than expected\, the opening date\, and therefore opportunity to earn income\, has been deferred several times. However the mortgage and other bills wait for no one\, so the gap in funding continues to grow. We have been very encouraged by\nthe practical support\, grants and donations received\, but for long‘ term security we are very keen to invite investment by way of loans\, with interest offered from 0% to 5%\, repayable over I\, 5 or I0 years. \nIf all goes to plan the official opening date is the 22″“ June. \n  \nGladstonebury\nSumac Centre Community Festival\nCelebrating 25 years of Sumac. \nFri 25th / Sat 26th / Sun 27th of September 2026 \n————————————————————————– \nMusic * Food * Activism * Workshops * Solidarity \nFood by Veggies and Notts Dinning Coop \nFriday Night 25th Sept indoors + Vegan Bar\nDoors open 6pm \nVegan Food £5 Suggested Donation (Serving 18.30hrs) \nActs £5 Suggested donation \nPoets and performers.  \nJimi Strange 19.00 to 19.20 (Rad Folk) \nLytisha Tunbridge 19.30 to 19.50 (Poet) \nCath Mackie 20.00 to 20.20 (Spikey Folk) \nAndrew Mznyox 20.30 to 20.50 (Poet) \nNoah Drillhead 21.00 to 21.20 (Punk Solo) \nBearded Tit 21.30 to 22.00 (Rad Poet) \n\nFull Details \n————————————————————————– \nSaturday Night 26th Sept indoors + Vegan Bar\nTicketed £12 Through Fixr 18+/no dogs \nDoors open 17.30 \nVegan Food Suggested Donation £5 \n(Serving 18.00hrs) \nDrivelheads 19.00 to 19.40 Notts (Local Rebel Rousers) \nThe Sporadics 20.00 to 21.00 Bournemouth (Sub punk/festy music) \nanarchistwood 21.30 to 22.30 London (Theatrical Pr@nk rock) \n(DReSS up FeRal optional) \n\nFull Details \n————————————————————————– \nSunday Day 27th Sept Garden Party/Bar \nFamily friendly/Behaved dogs on lead \nEvent free/Donations welcome \nVegan Brunch 11am till 2pm (£5) \n11 am onwards campaign stalls \n12am till 2pm The Sparrows Nest “The Sumac Archive Project” \nTalks/Quiz/Bookstall/Zine making \n2pm till 7pm (Veggies Catering) \nOne Mic Stand (Poets) \nJesse Perrett (Poet) 14.00 to 14.20 \nRachel Joy (Poet) 14.30 to 14.50 \nSpoken Goat (Poet) 15.00 to 15.20 \nYard Sessions/Acoustic acts \nPixie Styx (Assorted gubbins\, D.I.Y tunes)15.30 to 16.00 \nBlossom (Folk Singer) 16.10 to 16.40 \nPaul Carbuncle (Punchy political PuNk) 16.50 to 17.20 \nJessi Eastfield (Eastfield Rail PuNk) 17.30 to 18.00 \nKlezmer Tanz (Traditional roots) 18.10 to 19.00 \nFull Details
