Food project in Lambeth - Made in Lambeth, Best Before Project and Lambeth Council

Reducing food waste to help Lambeth poorest - a new project in cooperation with Lambeth Council and the lovely Made in Lambeth is finally here!

Best Before

Stage 1: Let's be realistic and creative at the same time! If you live or work in Lambeth come and join us at Impact Hub Lambeth on Saturday 12th April 2014 from 10am-4.30pm and help us make a difference at great brain-storming event. Any skills and experience is much appreciated but we would be particularly happy to hear from IT minded people to help us create a prototype Lambeth-wide food sharing platform.

Every day tonnes of perfectly good food goes to waste across Lambeth, while at the same time thousands of Lambeth families go hungry. Food banks and charities are doing fantastic work to try and meet this growing issue, but they need help to meet the demand. It is a complicated issue to solve, but the Best Before movement (http://bestbefore.org.uk/) in collaboration with Lambeth Council have spotted an opportunity to support and enhance the work of the food banks and charities.

The Glamorous World of Food Waste

In 2021 we’re reviving the Best Before Project blog and increasing our media presence and visibility to spread the word about our work. In order to do that however, there’s one important thing you should know about us, the target of our project - Reducing food waste. It’s not the most glamorous subject to learn about, but understanding food waste is key to understanding our goals and why we do what we do. The BBPs main goal is to educate the public on the misconceptions about best before dates and reduce the amount of food ending up in landfills. So many of us assume that when a piece of food reaches its best before date, it’s ‘gone off’ but the BBP aims to show that this isn’t the case and that there are many things to do with food that’s past its best before date. Together with many other charities and organisations, the Best Before Project aims ultimately to make a positive difference in people’s lives and the wider world, a goal that we’re sure many of you share.  As food waste...

Best before, still good after – not only food :)

  We are in constant need of sealable storage boxes in which we temporarily store all the lovely food donated to us by businesses willing to go the extra mile not to waste food before we we redistribute it among local charities. We’d like to thank The London Borough of Lambeth Waste Prevention Team, and Pawel Ryczan in particular, for collecting from their depot boxes saved from landfill and donating them to Best Before Project to be put to good use again.  THANK YOU
