Tiny Toes/The Real Junk Food Project Interview

All of you who come to our gigs have been so generous with your clothing and food donations.  We’re really happy that at this gig on August 21st we’ll be collecting food for the Real Junk Food Project, specifically for their branch at Tiny Toes Play Centre in Horsforth (and any food they can’t use will be re-distributed to other local Pay As You Feel projects).

So…if you have any food that you’re not going to use, that perhaps is going out of date or that you just want to donate, then bring it along and we’ll make sure they receive it!

Here’s Deirdre from Tiny Toes to tell us a bit more about them:

Tiny Toes has been running for the past 4 years.  It is run by Pete and Clare (Husband and Wife) Clare has the child background, working and managing Children’s Centres and Pete has the food background cooking amazing food – his stone-baked pizzas are amazing I have to say!!

How did you come to be involved with the Pay as You Feel project?

The guy Adam Smith that founded TRJFP approached Clare and Pete asking them to come on board, himself and his partner where regulars here at Tiny Toes and liked how we run.

 

How do you feel it’s going since its introduction at Tiny Toes?

It has been embraced really well by our customers as we are now a CIC company, and a non profit organisation – our customers are coming on board to the change with us.

For people coming along to the gig what would you like them to bring food wise as a donation?

We welcome any food donations as if we do not use the food in the kitchen to make the meals we can use it for the food boutique that our customers can take.

Cakes are a big part of our gigs (thanks to That Old Chestnut) and I know you always have a great selection on so what’s your personal favourite dessert?

Our customers here at Tiny Toes love our cakes, my personal favorite would have to be red velvet.
