FareShare South West

We fight food poverty by tackling food waste. We save perfectly good surplus food destined for waste and redistribute it to local Charities and community groups who transform it into nutritious meals for vulnerable people. We actively promote our key message to the food industry and general public – ‘No good food should be wasted’. We rely on the energy and dedication of our volunteers and provide meaningful work experiences and training, combatting social isolation and providing routes back into employment. Last year we redistributed enough food for 700,000 meals, saving the equivalent of 173 tonnes of C02 emissions . But it’s about more than meals. The organisations we supply food to – from youth clubs for disadvantaged children, to homeless hostels, community cafes and domestic violence refuges – are places that provide life changing support, as well as lunch and dinner.
