Come and discover what happens behind the warehouse doors at REfUSE. 

Explore the journey of rescued food, see how we give it a second chance, and learn the small actions we can all take to make a big difference.

We welcome adults, school groups, after‑school clubs and youth groups to visit the REfUSE café and warehouse. Each visit helps you understand how to reduce food waste and become true Food Waste Saving Heroes.
Your visit includes a guided warehouse tour and hands‑on activities exploring food miles, carbon footprints, climate change, and creative ideas for saving good food from going to waste.

We look forward to hearing from you

‘A really enjoyable visit. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, and the tour of the cafe was really interesting. The children really enjoyed all practical activities. We are now going to look at ways in which we can reduce our food waste back in school. Thank you to all of the staff involved for a lovely visit.’  Eco Group lead, St Cuthbert’s Primary in Chester-le-Street
