Staff benefits update
06 May 2015
This week's offers and discounts include organic veg boxes, Kiddivouchers, Superbreak, Opera House and Palace Theatre, plus Perkz
Organic veg boxes on campus with Veg Box People
Veg Box People is a 'veg box' scheme run by local organic farmers and The Kindling Trust in partnership with the University of Manchester and Manchester FoodCycle. The Kindling Trust was established because it was concerned about the impact of the current food industry on the environment, on our high streets, on small-scale farmers and consumers. Kindling helped to establish Manchester Veg People to bring together farmers and buyers, to increase understanding and therefore fairness in the food supply chain - making small-scale organic production a viable livelihood once more.
Manchester Veg People are seeking their first 100 customers over the next few weeks to commit to buying a weekly organic veg box of delicious seasonal produce from just £8. It starts on 2 June when you will be able to collect your veg box from the University campus (University Place).
