Hosted on Facebook Live, the UKHarvest will explore the different ways it supports those most food insecure, to live well, age well, and to help combat social isolation.

Participants will gain an insight into the charity’s food rescue and education programmes, and find out some terrifying facts about food waste in the UK.

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
