Voluntary Action Islington is committed to help minimise the amount of household food and drink waste in the borough

Islington teenagers are aiming to become ‘Food Waste Champions’, by attending a training session which covers the background to, and issues around, food waste. The key behaviours are helping reduce food waste and support on engaging with others in order to pass the message on. Voluntary Action Islington and Love Food Hate Waste have been working closely to organise the first workshop for 11-16 year old girls that was held on March 14, at St John’s Youth Club in Angel. 

Beverley Dean, the Chairman of the Club, had this to say: “The evening was terrific. The feedback has been very positive and the girls really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot”.

“We are currently working with the girls in relation to healthy eating, cooking and budgeting and would now like Love Food Hate Waste to become a permanent fixture on the programme”.
