If so, join this friendly four-week series of online discussions – Food for Thought! The sessions will start on Wednesday 7 September and run until 28 September, each lasting an hour from 7:30pm until 8:30pm.
Discussions will run through the various steps you can take at home to help you throw away less food. During the month, participants will have the opportunity to interact and share their experiences to keep the conversation going outside of sessions.
The group is open to all, whether you don’t know anything about making the most of your food or consider yourself an expert.

Where: Foakes Hall, 47 Stortford Road, Great Dunmow.
