Non-profit Organization Management

We redistribute surplus food to charities that turn it into meals. We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

About us

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to over 8,000 frontline charities and community groups. The food we redistribute is nutritious and good to eat. It reaches charities across the UK, including school breakfast clubs, older people’s lunch clubs, homeless shelters, and community cafes. Every week we provide enough food to create over two million meals for vulnerable people. Find out more about how FareShare works by watching this video: FareShare 'About Us' (youtube.com) or by visiting our website here: FareShare | Fighting hunger, tackling food waste in the UK

  • We are thrilled to share that Gousto have hit an incredible milestone as part of our partnership: the equivalent of 2 million meals! 🎉 🍏 Gousto’s purpose is to have a positive impact on people and the planet, which is why they’ve been partnered with FareShare since 2020. Any surplus food or undelivered boxes get redistributed to charities and community groups so nothing goes to waste and the food helps people who need it most. Thank you so much Gousto, we are so grateful for your amazing support and partnership 💚

  • We’re thrilled to celebrate the first anniversary of our incredible partnership with Yorkshire Building Society! This marks the successful start of our ambitious 2.5 year partnership. With one year down and two to go, we’re excited by all we’ve accomplished together and even more excited about the opportunities ahead to expand our impact. Highlights from our first year have been nothing short of extraordinary. Over 240+ YBS colleagues came together for a 26 mile hike across the Yorkshire Three Peaks, raising over an incredible £51,000, what an achievement! YBS is funding our impactful employability program, which is set to help 2,500 people secure sustainable employment. This initiative addresses the root causes of poverty by improving employability and reducing financial hardship, paving the way for brighter futures. From fundraising initiatives to volunteering efforts, YBS colleagues have embraced this partnership with enthusiasm and generosity. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey - whether you've donated, volunteered, or simply supported the cause. Here’s to the continued success of this amazing partnership! #Partnership #Celebration #CharityOfTheYear #FareShare #YBS

    A big thank you to the Onion & Carrot Conference for inviting FareShare along this year! It was a fantastic opportunity to meet new and current partners and learn more about the achievements in the industry and also the wider challenges facing British Growers at the moment. The surplus we receive from growers makes a huge difference to our charities across the UK. 🥕 Thank you for your support!💚
