1/3 Do you have links with growers in the West Midlands? We've been working hard to build a network of volunteers, charities and growers. However, our main challenge at the moment is reaching out to farmers and producers, it's a real sticking point...

Make sure to tune in this Sunday!

I had a brilliant day filming with the @feedbackorg’s Gleaning Network, saving tonnes of plums from being wasted, back in 2015 for #WarOnWaste. They do such a great job getting fantastic fruit and veg that would be wasted out to families who need it and really benefit from it.
