Kendal food waste charity expands services

Food waste charity expands services A food waste charity is expanding its "pay-as-you-can basis" meal services to cover an extra day per week. Waste into Wellbeing, which repurposes surplus food in Kendal, Cumbria, will now host a cafe session on Tuesdays alongside its community food larder on Thursdays and Saturdays. Westmorland and Furness Council said every single item of food that was repurposed by the group, based at the Eddington CIC, would otherwise go to landfill. Alison Quigley, from Waste into Wellbeing, said food poverty was "quite high in Kendal" so the larder was "open to everyone, supporting us to reduce food waste while ensuring access to a healthy diet".
