ECE Achievements

Esther Community Enterprise is a highly worthwhile third sector organisation, run on an entirely voluntary basis, serving the homeless and other socially excluded people in London and the UK. "Giving Purpose to Surplus" is our mission statement. We aim to meet those who have needs in the local community by redistribution of food and other consumables donated by retailers. ECE makes a worthwhile collective response to the 3 tenets of sustainable development, namely social, economical and environmental needs.

Waitrose Partnership with ECE

Volunteers collect food donated by retailers then check the "use and sell by dates". Food unfit for human consumption is not taken, with the remainder distributed to those that are disadvantaged.
