At FoodCycle Lewisham this week, we gave reclaimed food a new life - transforming it into a free, Caribbean-inspired meal for our New Cross guests. 🍇
As we mark Black History Month and World Food Day, we reflect on what drives us: creating spaces where everyone can share food and culture together.

We know what it’s like to be out, desperate for the toilet and not have a clue where to find one📍
In Lewisham, there’s no need to worry! With 84 venues providing free access to their toilets for the public - just look out for our stickers in the windows and you’ll know they’re part of the scheme!👀

No one should be stuck at home because they're not sure where to find accessible toilets📍🚽
That's why we’ve funded 84 venues across Lewisham to provide free access to their toilets for the public🧻
Big thanks to councillors Aliya Sheikh and Edison Huynh showing support for the scheme!
