Paisley businesses tackle food insecurity and back charity's Tea Bag initiative

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Businesses in Paisley are throwing their weight behind an innovative scheme tackling food insecurity and waste.The Star Project’s Tea Bag initiative has won sponsorship from three organisations keen to make nutritious food as accessible as possible in a sustainable way.Launched two years ago, the project offers people a bag full of ingredients to make their tea, which has been outlined on a recipe card.With exactly the right amount of ingredients included, the scheme prevents any leftover food from going to waste.

And like everything done by the Star Project, the bags are offered at an affordable price – £2.50 for a meal for two, £5.50 for a meal for four and £7.50 for a meal for six.

Now building firm JW Grant and John McKay Jewellers, as well as Renfrewshire health and social care partnership, have all handed over cash to ensure the survival of the project as the cost of food continues to rocket.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
