An initiative of One World Charitable Trust
Inspired by Perfectly Imperfect — built to make sure good food reaches the people who need it.
Our story
ReFood was established by One World Charitable Trust as a response to the growing issue of food waste in our communities. Inspired by the success of Perfectly Imperfect in New Zealand, we created a platform that connects those with surplus food to those who need it.
What began as a small local initiative has grown into a community-driven movement that’s helping to reduce food waste, support local food producers, and ensure good food reaches those who need it most.

Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly Imperfect is a successful New Zealand initiative that rescues “imperfect” produce that would otherwise go to waste. We share its belief that food should be valued for what’s in it, not how it looks — and we’ve widened the idea to all kinds of surplus food.
