After the success of the original café in Armley, Adam and other directors received media attention that led to people all over the world contacting them asking to adopt the model. The directors at the time received some of the best advice from a friend, to “let it happen organically”. The birth of TRJFP Charitable Foundation network began. Incorporated on 22nd January 2015, TRJFP Charitable Foundation was founded by: Adam Smith – co-founder TRJFP, co-director Armley Junk-tion Duncan Milwain – co-director Saltaire Canteen – a TRJFP cafe Corin Bell – co director TRJFP Manchester Conor Walsh – former co-director Armley Junk-tion Ian Bavil – Brass Tax Accountancy (stepped down September 2015) Sam Joseph – former co-director of Armey Junk-tion and co-director of Bristol Skipchen – a TRJFP café. It is the overall aim of TRJFP Charitable Foundation to protect and preserve the environment for the public benefit by: The promotion of waste food reduction and the use of surplus: and Advancing the education of the public about all aspects of food waste generation, waste management and waste recycling. We believe we can achieve these aims through a grass roots approach to basic education. In mid 2015, Partnership Agreements were devised and member cafes of TRJFP network became affiliated to the charitable foundation. A list of these cafes can be found at In July 2015, Richmond Hill Primary School, Leeds, became the first primary school to open a PAYF café on its premises, with primary aged children volunteering in the café and handling ‘wasted’ food. Mission Statement “Let’s REALLY feed the world” #feedbelliesnotbins #wastedfoodnotfoodwaste When Adam founded TRJFP, he did so after becoming disillusioned with the third sector. He had witnessed a risk averse sector, with decreasing funding leading to competition rather than collaboration between projects with similar aims. He recognised that some projects, working alongside huge social and environmental problems, had become reliant on those problems to maintain their business model. With this in mind, the trustees of TRJFP Charitable Foundation confirmed one overall aim – to seek to put the charity out of business as soon as possible by putting an end to ‘wasted’ food. “Let’s REALLY feed the world” is an inclusive statement covering an entire network that seeks to expose ‘wasted’ food globally, while at the same time creating a sustainable
Amount of PAYF financial donations received If it is also possible, we would like to receive the information on how many people the school feeds per session. We understand this could prove to be difficult given the nature of a school environment. The reason we collect this data is to create fundamental systemic changes in the food industry in order to reduce, and ideally abolish, food waste. The data will provide evidence of the safety of consuming surplus produce, whilst providing TRJFP details in order to campaign and approach both national and local government to encourage and further this change. Business agreement details All schools will be provided with a detailed account of their food interception sources. Food will be sourced and delivered through the service level agreement. We encourage schools to explore additional outlets for food and recommend this is done locally. Schools are not restricted to intercepting only from signed business partners of TRJFP. TRJFP currently employs a logistics team who will become your point of contact for all food related activities. We hope to empower schools to take on their own sourcing of food through either TRJFP’s business partners or through their own sources. Deliveries are provided where needed and further support with interceptions is also offered. Graphics, media and website Once signed up schools will be featured on .The website will feature links to your school’s website to further showcase your work around waste food activities. All FRED the Fox and Fuel For School graphics, media and intellectual property will be made available to all schools officially signed up to TRJFP.
