Hi my names Leo and I have been volunteering with fareshare south West for nearly 3 years! I have been the youngest volunteer on my shift for as along as I can remember. Volunteering with fareshare gives me a sense of purpose and boosts my passion for giving back to the community.

I am taking part in this sponsored swim to raise money for the charity as I believe it's a great thing to do and so many families out there don't get enough food for a week so this is my way of raising awareness and giving back.

Please donate if you can. Every pound raised can help provide the equivalent of 5 much-needed meals for children, families and local communities.

FareShare takes good-to-eat surplus food, which is unsold or unwanted, and helps get it to one million people across the UK. With 1 in 6 people worried about where their next meal is coming from, this makes a huge difference, changing lives every day.

Thank you for any support you can provide. It means a huge amount to me.
