"FareShare - Supporting Communities to relieve food poverty"

FareShare is the national food charity supporting communities to relieve food poverty.

FareShare is at the centre of two of the most urgent issues that face the UK – food poverty and food waste.

The charity addresses these issues in three ways:

  • Providing quality food - surplus 'fit for purpose' product from the food and drink industry – to organisations working with disadvantaged people in the community
  • Providing training and educations around the essential life skills of safe food preparation and nutrition, and warehouse employability training through FareShare's Eat Well Live Well Programme
  • Promoting the message that 'No Good Food Should Be Wasted.'

FareShare has been operating since 2004 and today has 12 locations around the UK. Established in 1994 as a project within homeless charity Crisis, FareShare aims to help vulnerable groups, whether they are homeless, elderly, children, or other groups in food poverty within our communities.
