Food Waste
#BristolFoodKind: highlights so far
By Ramona Andrews
#BristolFoodKind is a campaign to create a community of acts of kindness through food during the lockdown. This community is sharing practical ideas about how you can buy food, reduce waste and grow from home, in a way that is considerate to yourself and your community at a time of crisis.
This blog post shows some of the best of #BristolFoodKind that has emerged so far in each of our three themes, plus acts of kindness from some of the city’s wonderful community food responders.
We hope you are inspired to shop, save, grow and be #BristolFoodKind.
Be part of the community and share your #BristolFoodKind actions.

Thanks a bunch, NHS!
Wilde has partnered with the Bristol Royal Infirmary to help support our amazing, hard-working NHS staff by delivering fresh, nutritious fruit straight to staff rooms.
Show your support by giving a sustainable and healthy option to people working tirelessly to save lives while putting their own at risk. £1 will donate a bunch of bananas and other fruit to a staff room in the Bristol Royal Infirmary and St. Michael’s Hospital.
Add a donation to your next veg box delivery and help people on the front line.

Bristol has been voted the kindest city in the UK, and we’re a pioneering city when it comes to food. By building momentum behind this campaign, we can support and inspire one another, and encourage others to be #BristolFoodKind. Together, we can emerge from this crisis with a food community even stronger than it was before.
Starting Wednesday 13th May at 8pm, Bristol Food Network will be hosting #BristolFoodKind online film screenings. The first film is ‘In Our Hands: Seeding Change’ a story of hope and inspiration about farmers and food workers.
So, what change do you want to see happen that will transform food in Bristol by 2030? Do you already have an idea for how Bristol can make this happen? Join the conversation now.
