About FareShare FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, comprising 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good-quality surplus food from across the food industry and distribute it to 8,500 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. We provide enough food weekly to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people. Every year, more than three million tonnes of food go to waste in the UK, enough for 7 billion meals. Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis is driving millions into food insecurity. We are fortunate to benefit from the support of major retailers, the media, ambassadors and a groundswell of public engagement. As a result, there has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness. FareShare’s vision Our vision is of a UK where ‘No good food goes to waste’. Our mission is to use surplus, fit-for-consumption food to feed the vulnerable in the UK by supporting frontline charitable organisations that tackle the cause of poverty rather than just the symptoms. Our values run through everything we do and set out a clear framework for us to approach our work: passion, ambition, respect, collaboration, and focus.
