Both WRAP and Defra appreciate the significant challenges and hard work that many not-for-profit food redistributors are currently facing as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. These essential organisations play a vital role in ensuring surplus food can reach people in need or those considered most vulnerable, whilst also preventing this essential resource from becoming waste.
Defra is making £3.25million available through Wrap to help not-for-profit food redistributors increase the redistribution of surplus food from food businesses to those in need. You may be interested in the scheme as it could be of use for organisations you deal with – or aware of – that may need financial support. See link for further information about the grant: https://www.gov.uk/government/cash-support-for-food-redistribution-during-coronavirus-outbreak
You can also find out more and apply by contacting resourceactionfund@wrap.org.uk . There is also plenty of useful information in WRAP’s new resource hub. Defra’s press release is here , and WRAP UK Director Peter Maddox wrote a blog about the new grant.
