Reducing food waste with M&S via neighbourly.com

For the past 12 months the TCS Foodbank has been working in partnership with Marks & Spencer Telford (via neighbourly.com) to look at reducing the environmental impact of the food being thrown away, by creating a social impact through offering surplus fresh produce to go into food parcels via our main hub at the Telford Community Store

Fresh produce such as bread, vegetables and fresh fruit are the key elements in making sure that the food we provide isn’t just sustainable, but also healthy and nutritional.

We hope that by changing behaviours and offering an alternative method of food redistribution, we’ll be able to offer a wider range of produce to service users and help to create links between retailers/ businesses and charities which will lead to positive outcomes, through food, fundraising and volunteer programmes, and further collaboration.
