Fur Clemt

About

Fur Clemt CIC is a community interest company based in Wigan that operates as part of the Real Junk Food movement.

The organisation collects surplus edible food from suppliers and redistributes it to the community through cafes, food outlets and a food share scheme, with the dual aim of reducing food waste and addressing food poverty.

The food share scheme has over 2,000 members and operates twice weekly on a points-based pricing system, with annual membership at £5. Fur Clemt also operates a cafe and has partnered with other community groups across the borough to establish a network of smaller food pantries, making surplus food accessible to residents throughout Wigan.

Founded in 2014 initially to address holiday hunger, Fur Clemt opened its first Real Junk Food cafe in July 2015. The organisation is housed in an accessible former special educational needs school with parking and full disabled facilities available.
