📣 We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve launched a new Deals section on Olio, in partnership with reduced-to-clear SaaS platform Gander! For businesses, the new Deals section is one more way to fight food waste with Olio, by driving more sales of your cut-price groceries. Anything left can then be collected by our volunteers, as part of our hashtag #FoodWasteHeroesProgramme. For our users, you can now access yellow-stickered grocery deals at partner retailers, like Budgens, Morrisons Daily, Nisa Retail, SPAR UK and many more - helping you shop smarter and save money on your grocery bill in the process. Read our blog post to see how it works: https://bit.ly/4bC5UPM Want to learn more about how Deals could work at your business? Get in touch on [email protected] 📩

📣 Milestone alert: We've been fighting food waste with #CompassOne for 1 whole year!    📆 During that time, we've rescued 23 tonnes of food (that's the weight of 2 double-decker buses!) from 81 sites across defence, healthcare and government sectors. ✨ That food has provided nearly 50,000 meals to local families. 🙏 We're so grateful to every team member at Compass One - from their General Managers to their chefs - who've made this partnership possible. 👊 We'd also like to thank our volunteers for making such an incredible contribution to local communities. 🙌 Here's to the next twelve months (and 2 more double-decker buses!) ESS – Defence, Energy and Government Services and Compass Group UK & Ireland – Healthcare

Here's what our amazing Food Waste Heroes are saying about Olio • Share More, Waste Less's new partnership with Sainsbury's 🧡 It's been so wonderful to see our volunteers rescuing so much delicious food from Sainsbury's stores up and down the UK since we officially joined forces in June.

5 million portions of food shared and 1 million neighbour to neighbour pickups in June! That's seriously impressive! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our impact last month 🌎 #sharemorewasteless  

Last month, we set our community an epic challenge to help us find 10,000 new Food Waste Heroes! We always knew our target of 10,000 was ambitious. And we knew it wasn’t going to be easy. But the results are in.... Although we didn't hit our target, we’re still incredibly proud to have had over 4,220 volunteer sign-ups in just one month - that's double the amount of sign-ups we usually get. So - we think that’s pretty awesome! 🎉 Although our 10k challenge is over, our waste-busting mission doesn’t stop here… 🦸 Sign up as an Olio volunteer and make a real difference in local communities - register here: https://lnkd.in/eP-PjeX6 🌎Do you work for a business that is ready to take the next step in fighting food waste?

Today, we’re over the moon to officially announce that Sainsbury's has joined forces with Olio • Share More, Waste Less, to roll out our community food redistribution model across over 1,400 stores nationwide! 🎉 🧡 Sainsbury’s has always been a pioneer when it comes to food waste, and has a proud 150-year history of making good food joyful, accessible and affordable for everyone. Partnering with Olio is their latest move to support that work. With Olio, Sainsbury's can make sure even more of its surplus food doesn't go to waste.
