Food Rescuers Wanted!


Food Rescuers Wanted!

FRP is working with the Best Before Project to run an exciting new Food Waste Project in Waltham Forest.

We will be attempting to change opinions and challenge assumptions on Best Before dates on food by diverting usable food from being thrown away, distributing Best Before food to the local community and engaging with retailers around what happens to the food they don’t sell.

This project will be run by passionate volunteers so we need people with great, innovative and creative ideas.

Activities may include:

• Setting up a food distribution hub in your local community
• Talking to local retailers about how to better deal with their food waste
• Running a rescued food stall at a local market
• Collections of food that would otherwise be disposed of
• Putting on exciting events to show people that food after its Best Before date can still be good afterwards

However we welcome any new and exciting ideas :) We have set a provisional date for an initial volunteer meeting on April 1st in the evening although this is flexible.
