What's on

As well as the cool packs, the council has also launched a new food campaign What’s On Your Plate? which provides help to apply for Free School Meals and the Holiday Activities and Food programme during the main school holidays. The campaign also aims to help residents save money by reducing their food waste and using up leftovers, save energy by cooking and storing food more efficiently and support Sustainable Food Places by helping the environment.

Over the last few weeks, the council has been taking the campaign to families at pop-up roadshows at primary schools across South Gloucestershire. In the summer holidays, there will also be events at pick up times of some holiday and after school clubs and at Yate Shopping Centre.

The shopping centre event will be held from 10am-2pm and there will be lots of freebies available including lettuce seeds to grow at home, trolley tokens, bags, recipe cards and tips to save money. The roadshows will be attended by the council’s waste team who can provide expertise on reducing food waste, One Stop Shop officers who can help with accessing benefits and financial support and the Public Health team who will have information on eating better and nutrition.
