Towcester volunteers race to save surplus food from Silverstone

When there are 564,000 fans packed in to see the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, it can mean a lot of uneaten food goes to waste.

But not when about 50 volunteers from the Towcester Community Larder, in Northamptonshire, spring into action.

Last year they carried out a number of pit stops to collect 32 tonnes of unused food, and this year they were in pole position to do the same again.

Since Sunday they have raced to save 15 tonnes of food and the larder’s Katie Steele expects the large collection of “weird and wonderful” items to continue to go up its leader board of donations.
