Your Uni 'fruit and veg' Co-op

As you may know, one of SIFE's projects in 2008-09 was to set up the Your Uni Co-op to bring well priced fruit, vegetables and salad to the student population; while generating a sustainable income source for the Riverside Community Food Coop where volunteers aim to bring the same service to the deprived community of Riverside.

While Your Uni Fruit and Veg Co-op is now an independent service run by the Cooperative committee, SIFE Cardiff are committed to ensuring the growth and sustainability of the enterprise. For this reason, SIFE Cardiff are helping the co-op integrate on-line payment for its products. We hope that this well continue to encourage students to eat healthily and of course increase the funds that we can raise for helping the Riverside Cooperative develop and grow.
