The Food Bus is a refurbished bus that acts as a travelling supermarket selling affordable, high-quality, healthy surplus food in Wandsworth. It is a collaboration with Be Enriched, Feeding Britain, Wandsworth Council and Jan Kattein Architects
The bus visits four sites across the borough each week that are in, or close to, designated ‘food deserts’. These are areas which either have no shops selling nutritious, affordable food or have a high density of outlets selling very unhealthy food only.
