About
People in your community are going hungry. Charities and food banks are a lifeline. But for overstretched charities, maintaining a regular supply of food, and coordinating collection and delivery is hard work. That’s why we developed Platter.
How it works
Platter is a free online platform that helps charities access surplus food and easily manage collection and delivery. We source the food, which would otherwise end up as landfill, from manufacturers and wholesalers.
Benefits for charities
Access to food: Maintain a consistent supply of food and feed more people in the community.
Efficient operation: Save time and reduce admin by managing all donations in one place.
Simplify delivery: Suppliers and charities can coordinate collection and delivery more easily.
Why Platter?
We developed Platter based on decades of experience working in UK food production and wholesale. On the commercial side of our business, our clients include Tiptree and LMC Foods. Our proven platform makes distributing surplus food easier and more efficient; reducing food waste and greenhouse gas emissions at the same time.
