Our climate projects
Pulp Friction carries out a variety of projects to raise awareness of climate change and sustainability, and teach how we can make small changes to help protect the environment.
Our Polytunnel
Based in our Community Hub, the polytunnel has become a safe space for the Members to develop their gardening skills and grow their own fruits and vegetables, which then can be used in the meals prepared by the team
Working with Schools
We are passionate about what we do and love to pass this passion on! As part of our projects or collaborating with other charities and organisations, the Members go to schools in the community, where they do different workshops about climate change, gardening…
Upcycling Project
With our new sewing machine, Members have been learning how to make bags using recycled materials such as curtains and scraps of fabric. There is no funner and more environmentally-friendly way of doing fashion!
We’re proud to be working in partnership with:
The Urban Worm
Do you know the true power of worms? They are brilliant at composting! We have lots of ‘wormeries’ set up in our garden which help to break down food and paper into a natural fertiliser.
FareShare Midlands
We give surplus food the life it deserves! We work with food charity, FareShare Midlands, to ensure good food doesn’t go to waste and instead used throughout our catering activities.
OVO Foundation
Spreading the world of sustainability!
The OVO Foundation is supporting our climate change projects working with children and young people.
We feed over 10,000 people using food that would have otherwise gone to waste
Surplus Food: is collected by us from supermarkets such as Lidl, M&S and the Co-op, or delivered directly to our canteen at the Joint Police and Fire Headquarters by FareShare Midlands
Sorting: We sort through the food to note the dates, quantities and quality, and decide what we can make with it.
Composting: Any food that cannot be used is recycled through our Plan-it composting bins and on-site wormeries. Nothing goes to waste!
Distributing: We distribute the food we receive across our catering network ready to be used in daily activities and events.
