First-ever Food Waste Action Week aims to reduce wasted food to tackle climate change Date published: 06 March 2021
Food Waste Action Week runs until Sunday 7 March
Members of the public are being asked to try and reduce the food wasted at home in the inaugural Food Waste Action Week (1-7 March).
Led by WRAP, the UK’s leading sustainability charity, Food Waste Action Week runs until Sunday 7 March, with activities taking place across the whole of the UK.
Partners are united around a simple message: “Wasting Food Feeds Climate Change.”
Food Waste Action Week asks the public to take part in a simple challenge to try to reduce the food they waste at home to as close to zero as possible, as 70% of all food wasted in the UK is from our own homes. Each year, UK households throw away 4.5 million tonnes of food that could have been eaten.

Businesses in Rochdale struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic are being reminded by GC Business Growth Hub that loans of up to £50,000 are available to support them but time is running out to apply.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority launched a £10m GM Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) in November to specifically support small and medium sized businesses such as sole traders, entrepreneurs and business owners.
The fund is for eligible SMEs based in and trading from Greater Manchester, who are unable to access Bounce Back Loans from their own banks. The deadline for applications is 31 March, and the scheme will close once the fund is fully committed.
