This cafe, staffed by volunteers, rescues surplus and unsold food from local supermarkets, distributing it to the community to combat food waste.
Their mission embodies the values of inclusion, community, and sustainability, echoing the early ideals of the Garden City Movement.
The flooring provided, Altro Illustra adhesive-free in colour Touchstone, represents Altro’s latest innovation. Its adhesive-free design allowed swift installation, minimising disruption to the café's operations. Plus, its easy-clean properties and enhanced slip resistance contribute to a safer environment for volunteers and visitors.
Backed by a 10-year guarantee, this flooring promises durability while remaining environmentally conscious, as it can be easily recycled or repurposed at the end of its lifecycle.
The decision to support the Best Before Cafe stemmed from discussions with Lucy Bilotto, Altro's Product Manager, who volunteers at Create Community, a beneficiary of the cafe's donations.
Suzy Holding, the cafe's founder, expressed her gratitude, stating, “Upstairs was done yesterday. It is amazing! Downstairs is being done today. We tried our best with the old floor in the shop with the tightest of budgets, but it was grim and desperately needed replacing. It is a deep joy to have a new, fresh, easily cleaned floor, it is a far less stressful place. So, it looks gorgeous, yes, but the wellbeing I feel is priceless. Thanks Lucy!”
