Eco-conscious Food Club

CALLING ALL YEAR 8s ... a new eco-conscious Food Club is coming to Highfields! Did you know... 6.7 million tonnes of food is wasted in the UK every year? That is roughly £250-£400 wasted by each family per year on average. The amount of food we waste is astonishing; so we would like to develop a way to reduce food waste and help families save money by not wasting food.

We want you to help us with this; we have an initial idea but need student input to help develop and trial recipes and other ideas. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email Miss Poundall (lpoundall@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk) to express an interest. The club will start after half term and will run at the start of Wednesday lunch times in T3.
