Olio
We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with Olio to fight food waste!
The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership has started working with Olio to make sure no food goes to waste at our school canteens.
How does it work?
It’s simple: Olio volunteers collect whatever food doesn’t get eaten from our canteens. They then share any spare food with members of the local community – quickly and safely – via Olio’s app.
Our spare food ends up feeding people in the local community, rather than going to waste. Plus, sharing food through Olio means we’re helping care for the climate, too.
How can you get involved?
As well as offering schools like ours a way to redistribute delicious food, Olio is also a sharing app for local communities, on a mission to fight waste.
It makes it easy to pass on the things you no longer need — from food to furniture, and clothes to books — to people who live nearby.You can also use Olio to see what food or household items you could collect for free in the local area.
Want to take it a step further, why not volunteer with Olio?
Volunteering isn’t just a way to fight food waste. It’s a way to support people nearby who in many cases are struggling to put food on the table (and get that feel-good factor knowing you’re doing your bit to help your community). Plus, Olio volunteers get to keep 10% of the food they collect, so it’s a great way to access a bit of extra free food for anyone who might be struggling.
