Bubble & Squeak

A group of entrepreneurial children from West London are fighting food waste by selling surplus food in the school playground and to the local community. The initiative is led by children aged 5 to 12-year-olds from Old Oak Primary School & Old Oak Community Centre in East Acton. They have named their social enterprise ‘Bubble & Squeak’, a nod to the traditional English dish made using leftover vegetables. Emphasising healthy eating, their aim is to take edible surplus food such as fruit and vegetables from local businesses, markets, and supermarkets and redistribute it to the local community on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis. Bubble & Squeak also run After School Club Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at Old Oak Centre and run regular community events powered by surplus food.
