Social Enterprise Yorkshire & Humber Awards
This celebratory event in York on 7th March 2024 recognised and acknowledged all the amazing achievements of social enterprises across Yorkshire and the Humber.
FoodSavers and Inn Churches were delighted to be nominated in two of the seven categories.
“It was a fantastic evening,” said Maria, FoodSavers Relationship Manager. “Inn Churches were nominated for the Environmental Award for the endless work our Storehouse team do at the Storehouse, having redistributed 868 tonnes of food since the Storehouse opened in 2015.
The FoodSavers team were very excited to be nominated for the Innovative Use of Technology Award for the development of our Nourishing Communities rewards app (more below) and our new FoodSavers software platform.
The platform is a cloud-based system developed by TrueNorth IT which securely records and reports on customer visits across the network and the funds deposited by each member with the Credit Union. Rolling out from this month, it should make our work even more effective as we continue to facilitate the relationship between our FoodSavers outlets and recognised Credit Unions.
We’re also delighted to congratulate to our FoodSavers friends at Armley Action Team for their success in the Best Social Investment category, recognising the commitment of investor KeyFund who believed in and supported Armley to get the Yum! Community Fridge & Pantry of the ground.
