Innovation spotlight

Unity House is a proposed public-benefit programme beginning with a hosted Waltham Forest pilot exploring surplus-food redistribution, community access and responsible evidence.

  • Partner mapping, safeguards and evidence requirements before a pilot
  • Potential environmental and community outcomes to be measured if a pilot occurs
  • Any future evaluation and scalability assessment would be evidence-led

*Unity House is proposed and is not an operating physical centre, active food service or completed pilot.
