FareShare South West rescues high-quality food from the food industry and shares it with charities and schools across the south west, turning an environmental problem into lasting social good. Our supportive volunteering and employability programmes offer local people the opportunity to thrive.

Story

After visiting the FareShare warehouse in central Bristol, I really wanted to contribute to their amazing cause - redistributing unwanted food (which would otherwise go to landfill), to charities and community groups.  The statistics of food poverty in the UK were pretty eye-opening - 8.4 million people in the UK struggle to afford to feed themselves.  And a staggering 1.9 million tonnes of food is wasted by the food industry each year.  FareShare help to distribute some of this food to vulnerable groups who really need it.

Anything you can give will be much appreciated and spur me on round the course!!

Thank you!!
