  You’re invited to help us celebrate 5 years

  of reducing food waste together in April 2021!

   

  Throughout April 2021, Shrewsbury Food Hub is celebrating its 5th birthday by asking everyone to join the FoodHub5 campaign. MOVE a bit to help raise awareness of food waste & vital funds.

   

  We’d love our partner groups to get involved! Whether that’s 5 laps of the playground at schools or a 5km walk at the weekend. We love working with you & it would be great to take on this FoodHub5 challenge together!

   

  You decide how you want to MOVE (walk, wheel, run, swim, skip, anything) and for how many multiples of 5km. As a team or individual. Just set yourself a goal and please get involved.  If you can inspire friends, family and neighbours, all the better! Help share the campaign on our Facebook & Twitter too 

   

  For full details and to easily set up of your own fundraising page go to  virginmoneygiving.com/fund/shrewsburyFoodHub5
