Silverstone Event Collects 15 Tonnes of Surplus Food Donations

During the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, 50 volunteers from Towcester Community Larder collected 15 tonnes of unused food as part of their mission to reduce waste. Last year, they gathered a total of 32 tonnes. The event hosted 564,000 fans, marking a record attendance for a Formula 1 race. The volunteers aim to continue this effort until Thursday and sell the surplus food at discounted rates, which potentially benefits local community members.
