Bread n Butter

Bread n Butter are food educators teaching cookery life-skills whilst addressing health and social inequalities and barriers to healthy living.

Bread n Butter were funded to deliver their 'Waste Warrior' workshops in more schools across the north London boroughs. They expanded their reach to include Haringey and Hackney as well as Barnet and Enfield where they worked the previous year. The aim of the project was to help children and their families understand how they could live more sustainably and save money by wasting less food and by increasing recycling and reuse of certain materials, in particular plastic. 

Some behaviour change noted as a result of the workshop include: 

• 72% of pupils report not using plastic straws
• 95% reported that they have the intention to refuse plastic bags
• 75% say they re-use plastic bags or take bags with them
• 44% reported that less clingfilm is used at home
• 62% reported that they use either foil or re-usable containers in their pack lunch now.
