Greater Manchester including Wigan are joining forces with WRAP’s Love Food Hate Waste (LFHW) campaign to raise awareness of the need for all of us to reduce food waste.

Love Food Hate Waste is the ‘Waste Not Want Not’ of the modern day, providing handy tips, advice and recipes for leftovers to help everyone waste less food.

Around a third of all the food we buy ends up being thrown in the bin and most of this could have been eaten.

Reducing food waste is a major issue and not just about good food going to waste; wasting food costs the average family £420 a year (for families with children it's as much as £610 a year) and has serious environmental implications too.
