Do you Love Food, Hate Waste? Would you like to get involved in reducing food waste?

If the answer is 'YES' come along to one of the Love Food Hate Waste Workshops that will be taking place on Thursday 6th February 2014 in:
•    Hungerford: 12pm – 2.30pm at the Croft Hall, The Croft, Hungerford RG17 0HY
•    Newbury: 6pm – 8.30pm in the Council Chamber, West Berkshire Council, Market Street, Newbury, RG14 5LD

Refreshments will be provided at both workshops, which will be delivered by Emma Barnett from WRAP (www.wrap.org.uk).

Love Food Hate Waste is about helping you to make the most of all of your food, saving you money and raising awareness about the huge environmental impact of wasting food in the UK. Come along and get our top tips and advice, along with ideas on how to share the benefits with people at work or in your local community.

The sessions will be fun and interactive and will cover some fascinating research on food waste and the myths which contribute to food waste. By the end of the session, participants will be clear about correct storage (for example eggs and rice), freezing, what date labels really mean, defrosting plus have an insight into how retailers are helping.

Who should attend?
The information covered applies to anyone interested in reducing their food waste at home and for people in a position to spread the word about the benefits covered in these sessions and/or incorporate this vital information into their existing communications and support work.
