Give waste food to the needy
Restore the Government funding to enable the food industry to divert surplus food to charities
Why is this important?
Research shows that more than 650 million meals worth of surplus food goes to waste despite being fit for human consumption. In the current situation this is a disgrace. Fareshare is a network providing just under one million meals a week to vulnerable people. The Government funded a trial last year but is not intending to continue it this year when it will be needed more than ever.
