Upbeat music plays: Words appear on the screen “Meridian Community Decarbonisation Fund” along with the Satisfy Food Rescue logo, and the Certified Renewable Electricity Generation logo.
See Phillipa Hunt, Founder/Chairperson of Satisfy Food Rescue, in the Satisfy Food Rescue warehouse.
Phillipa talks to the camera: So the thing that I personally love about food rescue is it’s this awesome balance between helping reduce food poverty but also helping to reduce food waste.
See four volunteers in high vis vests checking food dates, surrounded by banana boxes of food in a warehouse.
See a close up of a box filled with fruit, vegetables and a cake. In the background two volunteers are packing food into boxes.
See a volunteer carrying a box of food and stacking it on other boxes at the front of the camera. Another three volunteers pack and move boxes from a conveyor which is set up across the middle of the warehouse. Boxes of food are stacked up on both sides of the small warehouse.
Phillipa continues to speak in the background as the scenes are changing. So, it brings these two things together in a beautiful way and I thought well why can’t we do that here in Canterbury. So up to a third of the food produced globally is wasted. It means it is a massive problem. So, if we are able, in a small part, to address that at Satisfy then it has a huge impact on our local community. It also has a really wonderful impact on the people who are doing the work.

Phillipa continues to speak in the background of changing scenes. So the organisations that we support are the likes of foodbanks, community meal providers, schools, preschools. Anyone who is working with those who are facing food insecurity.

See Phillipa Hunt talking to the camera, in a warehouse with volunteers moving boxes of food in the background.

See a green and white EV van pulls in to the Satisfy headquarters. Satisfy Food Rescue is written across the side of the van. Meridian and a turbine logo are on the door of the van. “Thanks to Meridian’s Community Decarbonisation Fund” is written across the side of the van.

Phillipa speaks while the scenes change below. Phillipa says: Because we have this focus on food waste reduction, we are a very environmentally focused organization. So, to be able to have the funds to be able to invest in EV’s is just perfect.
