FIFE College is doing its bit to tackle food waste and support the local community after partnering with surplus food platform Too Good To Go.

Nearly 300  'surprise bags' have already been distributed, helping save an estimated 677.5 kilograms of CO2e emissions.

Through the collaboration, the college's Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, and Glenrothes campuses are offering bags of surplus food with products from Aramark, the College's catering contractors, available at one-third of their regular prices.

To get a Surprise Bag, anyone can download the free Too Good To Go app and search for their local Fife College Campus, before reserving a bag to collect at an allocated time, usually around 1.30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Jim Metcalfe, the Principal of Fife College, said: "We are fully dedicated to fostering a culture of sustainability and innovation at Fife College.

"Joining the Too Good To Go platform represents a significant step in our commitment to reducing food waste and minimising our environmental impact.

“Moreover, we recognise the importance of providing affordable food to anyone facing the challenges of the cost of living crisis.

"Every meal saved from going to waste is a meaningful contribution to our planet, and we are excited to be part of this impactful movement."
