TV programme about foraging for fruit

I'm just watching a programme on the BBC about foraging for fruit which is then passed on free of charge to the local community, but I can't seem to track anyone down to ask questions. As I have a glut of figs rotting on the tree (I can't abide them!) I would be interested in getting in touch with any such scheme as they can take whatever they can pick..any suggestions where to start looking?

    Have you thought about joining your local freecycle group (a group that gives away things they no longer want/need). I'm always seeing 'posts' for fruit/veg giveaways. Wish I lived near you ! lol

    I've tried joining freecycle but gave up after I couldn't seem to get registration to work at all.

    me too, I ask every year on freecycle for any excess fruit. Have made lovely chutneys and jam out of them.

    It was just the BBC breakfast news, I'm just trying to track it down via their website now. The figs are just sitting there rotting and they look nice, just wish I liked them.

    Nope, can't find anything, how frustrating.
