Welcome to Food Rescue Volunteers!

 

 

Do you want to...

Reduce food waste on campus?
Improve food accessibility?
Support other students through the cost-of-living crisis?
Help improve the overall sustainability at the University of Leicester?

 

As a society, during term time, we work together to collect food that the campus outlets can no longer sell because of their sell-by dates and deliver them to the community kitchen (in the Percy Gee Building), for students to take for free!

We run as a low-commitment society, expecting each member to cover at least one shift (approx. 15 - 30 minutes) – the time it will take you to collect, deliver and record the food.

And the BONUSES are... as member you get first choice of the food in the fridge and be awarded free food vouchers to spend on campus!  

 

In our first year as a student group (2023/2024), we have saved over 2600 food items that were almost 470kg in total! 

 

If you would like to get involved, please purchase a free standard membership on this page and fill in this interest form.

If you have any questions, please get in touch via email at su-foodrescue@leicester.ac.uk
