The University is excited to announce a new collaboration with\u00a0Kent Food Hubs CIC<\/a>, launching a student-run collection hub on campus. \u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The launch of a collection point on campus will give students, staff, and local residents the\u00a0opportunity to collect their orders of fresh, local produce without a delivery charge<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 making sustainable and affordable food more accessible than ever.\u00a0The collection point \u2013 in the Mandela Building \u2013 will be open between 14:00-16:00 every Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This initiative aligns with our Right to Food commitments to tackle food insecurity, champion healthy eating and support local produce. And staff and students can claim 10% off their first order by entering the code UKC1 at the checkout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Professor Iain Wilkinson, Lead for the Right to Food said: \u2018This partnership is a great way to demonstrate what the Right to Food is all about.

We\u2019re keen to ensure that this is all done in an affordable way \u2013 and feel that Kent Food Hubs can help deliver on this front too.\u2019<\/p>\n
