‘Empowering Futures’ intern programme
Chartwells has partnered with DFN Project SEARCH to provide a one-year, life-changing transition-to-work program for individuals with learning disabilities, autism spectrum conditions, or both.
Through this collaboration, interns gain real-world work experience, develop essential skills, and build confidence within a supportive, hands-on environment. DMU Uni Food will continue being part of this incredible programme next year, reinforcing its commitment to foster inclusivity, nurture talent and make a real difference.
Stop Food Waste Day
Join us on Wednesday 30 April, at the Food Village to celebrate sustainable eating and fighting food waste! Meet some incredible guests who are dedicated to making a difference and sharing their knowledge on how we can all reduce food waste every day.
The Food Made Good Standard for DMU Uni Food
Achieving three stars in the Food Made Good Standard means DMU Uni Food are officially recognised for our commitment to sustainability in hospitality!
In 2022, we took the first shot in Food Made Good, back then, we achieved only two stars, but what we received was a meaningful insight into what we can do to improve our strategies.
DMU Uni Food’s Sustainability Champion, Alex Adamczyk, said ‘From the very beginning of working on this accreditation in 2022, I knew the business had made amazing progress, which made me think that DMU Uni Food will achieve the highest position in rankings.’
This accreditation, awarded by the Sustainable Restaurant Association, evaluates businesses across ten impact areas, covering: sourcing sustainably, reducing food waste, promoting healthy and nutritious options and supporting fairness and well-being.
This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire team in creating a greener, more responsible dining experience for students and staff at DMU!
