Engaging Communities on Food Waste Reduction

Lairg Learning Centre, School House, Lairg  IV27 4DD 
10.00 - 12.00

The workshop is free, but you need to register.

Hosted by Lairg Learning Centre, this workshop is for CCF funded projects and other organisations that wish to engage members of their community on food waste reduction.

The objective of this Love Food Hate Waste workshop is to provide you with knowledge of the scale and impact of food waste in Scotland, as well as understanding and practical skills around the simple things we can all do to stop wasting food and save money in the process. This information can then be cascaded to your colleagues, community, friends and family.

You will (if you wish) receive a certificate at the end of the training. We can also provide your organisation with a certificate.

The workshop will be fun and interactive and covers the key messages of the national Love Food Hate Waste campaign, including:

• Understanding date labels
• Storage
• Better use of the freezer
• Portion sizes
• How to use up leftovers

No prior knowledge or experience is required to attend this workshop, just an interest in reducing food waste.

We will be asking each participant to complete a food waste diary prior to the workshop. This will be used for discussion during the workshop, and as a way to evaluate its effectiveness. The information provided will be kept completely confidential and anonymous. You will be sent a blank diary once you sign up.

The session will last for approximately two hours.
