We want to collaborate with 100 suppliers and manufactures who will donate their
surplus stock to the
BIG FOOD pledge
Our Pledge:
With more than 27,000 tonnes of food being wasted in Lancashire alone annually, we estimate that just 1% of this could support and feed an additional 98,000 people per year. We are determined to see this happen, but we can't do it alone.
Our Goal:
We are driven to create a community combined of local food manufacturers, food suppliers and food retailers, as well as individuals and families, that will donate their edible surplus to The BIG FOOD Pledge. In turn, creating a resilient food system that can withstand and recover from any disruptions.
How we use your Pledge:
Not only do we strive to encourage individuals to reduce the amount of food waste, but ensure the supply of food surplus is distributed and used to its fullest potential for the benefit of those in need across our local communities.
