Welcomed news, we will be keeping a close eye on where this funding goes, as we haven’t seen a penny to date. In the meantime, we’ll carry on doing what we do best- feeding people with surplus food!

Want to save the planet?
70% of UK food waste comes from our homes. If you waste food, you waste the valuable energy and resources it takes to make it. bit.ly/OutOfDateUK #StopWastingFood #Resources #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

Today, we've launched our new climate-focused brand - Wasting Food: It's Out of Date!
This fresh, dynamic new brand will show people exactly how wasting food affects climate change, and how we can all make a difference 🌍
