Gleaners are harvesting apples on a farm that would otherwise be left to rot on the ground.
Roz Scott said her environmental charity had become a "lifeline" to people struggling to put food on their tables
Roz Scott, from the charity, led volunteers around an orchard for the first time to collect tonnes of apples.Clive Williamson said he hoped the gleaners would continue to visit his orchard in future years to stop good apples going to waste He estimated about two to three tonnes of produce, that would otherwise go to waste, had been salvaged from his orchard this year after the group contacted him.
Mr Williamson said: "The idea is to grow as many first-class apples as possible, therefore it's not commercially viable to send the ones that are waste to a grader - it's better to drop them on the ground here.
