Stop Food Waste Day
Join us on the 30th of April as we take part in Stop Food Waste Day. We’re bringing together interactive workshops, local communities, and practical tips to help us all cut down on food waste and make a real difference.
Explore the day’s events below:
Share, Swap & Save: The Community Recipe Board
Do you have a favourite recipe that helps you use up leftovers or make the most of food scraps? Visit our Recipe Board and write it down on one of our blank recipe cards. Pin it up for others to discover – and feel free to take a card home to try something new.
Don’t forget to share your finished dish on social media using #StopFoodWasteLP. We’d love to see what you create.
Spin the Wheel of Waste
Take a spin and test your food-saving knowledge. From surprising compost facts to clever kitchen hacks, this activity will leave you inspired with simple ways to waste less at home and maybe even discover a new trick for reducing waste in your kitchen.
Guess the Compost Time
Think you know how long everyday items take to break down in a compost bin? Put your knowledge to the test in this fun, educational guessing game. It’s a great way to learn more about the waste we create and where it really ends up.
Food Donation Station
Bring along a non-perishable food item to support Canley Food Hub, our charity partner working to help local families in need. Whether it’s a can, a packet, or a box of something useful, your donation can go a long way in making a difference.
Composting Awareness Station
Discover how composting turns kitchen waste into powerful soil-nourishing goodness. This hands-on station is full of helpful info and inspiring ideas:
- Learn what can and can’t be composted
- See real compostable materials in action
- Find out how to make your own compost bin at home using simple materials
- Explore the full composting cycle, from peel to plant
We’ll even be giving away biodegradable pots with seedlings so you can take the cycle home and see how waste can grow into something new.
We hope to see you in the centre to help tackle food waste!
