TRiFOCAL Wave 2 summary

TRiFOCAL Wave 2 summary

Following the successful delivery of wave 1 in Hackney, Lambeth and Merton, the materials and messages were refined by undertaking a ‘test and learn’ approach.

In wave 2, two further London boroughs, Tower Hamlets and Bexley, launched their own localised campaign to engage citizens in sustainable and healthy eating, food waste prevention and food waste recycling.

Using TRiFOCAL’s updated material, messaging and insight from the resource bank as well as being supported by the WRAP and LWARB teams, each borough organised campaign activities and advertisements.

Below is a summary of the activities conducted for each of the participant boroughs for wave 2:
