Each month we're going to feature a 'Badge of the Month' that members of The Hive can try together. The idea is that even though we're an online group, we can still all come together to do the same thing and share our experiences, tips and thoughts on it.
For our eleventh Badge of the Month, we are going to change it up and focus on FareShare, who have teamed up with Girlguiding LaSER to create an amazing set of resources and activities!
We've set out the badges below and would love it if you gave them a go and updated us with your progress.
Shout about food waste!
1. Brainstorming
Think about different ways you could shout out about food waste and create a mindmap/list of the ideas that you come up with.
2. Spreading the word
Create a poster, blog or video giving tips on reducing food waste in our day-to-day lives (we’d love to see any that you create - send them into us!)
You can find the full syllabus here.
Fundraise for FareShare!
1. Think about how you want to fundraise
Think that you can’t fundraise from the comfort of your very own home? Think again! Check out some ideas that we have come up with:
- Sponsored challenges: whether it’s a sponsored silence or fitness challenge, this is an easy way to raise funds and have fun doing it too!
- Coin hunt: search around the house, in all the nooks and crannies, and find all the spare change that has fallen down there - then donate it online to FareShare!
- Run… wherever you can! The news is full of stories of people running half marathons around their gardens, balconies, even from their living rooms! Why not give it a go and see how far you can run.
You can find the full syllabus here.
Love your leftovers!
1. ‘Ready, steady cook’
Take your leftovers and create a tasty meal out of them! Using only the wasted food, what sort of culinary delights can you come up with?
2. Leftovers bake-off
Don’t waste old fruit, vegetables and bread - turn it into something yummy instead! It could be banana bread, fruit and veg smoothies or even bread and butter pudding slices, the choice is yours.

Made some lovely treats with your food waste in the kitchen? Or have you created an amazing poster/blog to spread awareness of food waste? Let us know on Facebook and Instagram!
Happy badging!
