What happened: A social supermarket, Community Table, opened in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, aiming to help families in food poverty save up to 70% on their weekly shop. This not-for-profit store buys surplus stock and products close to or past their best before date. Meanwhile, Comic Relief is funding Uniform for All, a charity providing recycled school uniforms to families in Greater Manchester.

Market impact: This narrative impacts the retail and charity sectors. For retailers, it introduces a new, discounted channel for surplus stock, potentially reducing waste and disposal costs. For charities, it highlights the growing need for and support of initiatives tackling poverty and inequality.
