Volunteering With OLIO - (May 2021 - Present)

I joined OLIO as a Food Waste Hero in May 2021 and have a regular collection slot at Tesco, as well as helping out to cover additional slots for fellow Food Waste Heroes from this and other nearby Tesco stores.

It is great to know that Tesco is supporting OLIO with a joint aim of reducing food waste. After I’ve collected from my local store, the surplus food is shared with other OLIO App users. It’s a win-win situation for all. Tesco reduces its volume of waste, OLIOers use what would have been thrown away and save ourselves a few pennies into the bargain.

When I make my collection at Tesco the staff are always pleased to see me, very helpful and are grateful that between us we are reducing food waste. This can only be good for the planet.
