July 2013: We hosted an event to bring together members of the community, charities, food retailers and those taking positive action to tackle food waste to discuss the big question: what are we going to do about food waste in Brighton & Hove? We heard from amazing groups including PlanZheroes, The Gleaning Network, The Pig Idea, Feeding the 5000, as well as local councillors, food banks and concerned members of the community. It was a fantastic event that included a shared meal made from food that had been thrown away. From this event, so much positive action has begun!
Nov 2013: We ran our first ever Good Food for Good Causes event, linking local charities and community groups with food that otherwise would have ended up in landfill. After the success of this event we decided to run it 4 times a year, and continue diverting food from landfill to those who need it.
Feb 2014: Our second Good Food for Good Causes event was even bigger and better, and included food tasters using the ingredients available, recipes for the charities to take away to help them use the more unusual ingredients in a creative way, and of course plenty of laughter, good conversation...and a mountain of gluten-free bread flour!
Upcoming: We have plenty more events lined up - stay tuned!
