It’s estimated that across the UK, we waste 7 million tonnes of food and drink every single year. Meanwhile, record numbers of people are suffering from food poverty and have had to turn to a foodbank just to survive. Whilst these foodbanks do brilliant work, they are largely volunteer-driven and have to provide a huge amount of support on very small budgets. The problem is so large in fact, that no one even knows exactly how many people it affects.
Food Fighters sees Kerrang! Radio teaming up with two incredible charities, The Trussell Trust and FareShare, to make as much noise as possible about food poverty and food waste in the UK.
That’s where we come in.
