🌍🍎 Food Waste Action Week at Great Wyrley Academy 🍎🌍

13th March 2026

This week marks Food Waste Action Week (9–15 March), encouraging us all to make our food go “further.” It’s a message that feels especially important as we prepare to open our new Community Fridge at TheHub@Wyrley on our school site.

Every year in the UK, millions of tonnes of perfectly good food are thrown away. By reducing food waste, we can save money, support our community and protect our planet.

Our upcoming Community Fridge, run in partnership with Helping Hearts Food Bank, will help rescue surplus food and make it available to the local community — ensuring good food ends up on plates, not in bins.

While we prepare for the launch, there are small steps everyone can take at home:
✔️ Check dates – “best before” is about quality, not safety
✔️ Freeze leftovers to use later
✔️ Plan meals to avoid over-buying

Keep an eye on our page for more updates about TheHub@Wyrley Community Fridge opening soon!
