Pompey Sports & Education Foundation has teamed up with Sainsbury’s in Farlington.
They are launching an exciting healthy eating partnership to educate and offer support about eating well while on a budget.
Clare Martin, Pompey’s head of community projects, said: “we are really excited to be partnering with Sainsbury’s and are working together to find other ways we can support the local community together”
Sainsbury’s Lesley Powell added: “Healthy eating on a budget can be difficult to manage so we are happy to give guidance and suggestions.
“I am really looking forward to being involved and making a difference.”
The store has also been helping local charities and have donated surplus food that is still healthy, nutritious and within it use-by dates to Central Point in Portsmouth (pictured above).
The food donation scheme is aimed at charities and organisation that can benefit from receiving surplus fresh food products that would otherwise go to waste.
Phil Bridgwater, store manager, said: “We hate wasting food and really believe the old saying ‘Waste not; want not’.
“We are really happy that local charities, based within our community, can benefit from our food donations scheme.”
Lesley added: “It is important for us to benefit the local community and our colleagues were really impressed by the work that Central Point do. I’m looking forward to working with them.”
