TRiFOCAL Wave 3 summary

Following the successful Small Change Big Difference campaign delivery of wave 1 in Hackney, Lambeth and Merton and wave 2 in Tower Hamlets and Bexley, the materials and messages were then evaluated and refined using the TRiFOCAL ‘test and learn’ approach.

In wave 3, three additional London boroughs; Islington, Hounslow and Sutton, each launched their own localised events to engage citizens in sustainable and healthy eating, food waste prevention and food waste recycling.

Each borough was supported by the WRAP and LWARB teams throughout their campaign planning and delivery. Below is a summary of the activities conducted for each of the participant boroughs for wave 3:
