This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Supermarkets to take a sustainable approach and give food waste to our homeless.
- 1.9 million tonnes of food is wasted by the food industry every year in the UK.
- 300,000 people homeless in the uk
"Every action and decision we take – or don’t – ripples into the future. For the first time we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct these ripples."

"When we know where the hungry, the homeless, the sick exist, then we can help."
With homelessness continuing to rise and global warming coming to a point of no return, I believe change needs to happen on a larger scale. Companies hold the power to make this possible and with enough signatures, we can take steps to feed our homeless, reduce our waste and work towards building the desperately needed sustainable future too, because without progress; there is no change.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This petition seems to be calling on supermarkets to take action.
You could start a new petition asking to bring in a new law to require companies to give food waste to people who need it, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
