The group has now just celebrated it’s 1 year anniversary and meet bi-weekly on Thursday afternoons at Blythe Road. To find out more, please contact susan@hfmind.

A group of entrepreneurial children from West London are fighting food waste by selling surplus food in the school playground and to the local community. The initiative is led by 400 children aged 5 to 12 year old’s from Old Oak Primary School & Old Oak Community Centre in East Acton. They have named their social enterprise ‘Bubble & Squeak’, a nod to the traditional English dish made using leftover vegetables. Emphasising healthy eating, their aim is to take edible surplus food such as fruit and vegetables from local businesses, markets and supermarkets and redistribute it to the local community on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis. The kids want to get their whole community involved in changing attitudes towards food waste. They launched a crowdfunding campaign on the 24 April to raise £4,500 for a customised shipping container to store and sell the surplus food. Helping the children with the project are adult coordinators Elly Harrington and Lydia Gandaa.
