FareShare is a charity network aimed at relieving food poverty and reducing food waste in the UK.<\/p>\n
Here is their statement from their website;\u00a0 We believe that no good food should go to waste. When we saw the problem of UK hunger we found a solution. It\u2019s simple really. We redistribute surplus food to community groups that turn it into meals. We are a community. We get things done. We change lives.<\/em> <\/p>\n We redistribute surplus food…Fresh in date and good to eat surplus from the food industry, which would otherwise go to waste. Last year we managed 13,552 tonnes of food.<\/em><\/p>\n Across the UK…We reach 1,300 towns and cities through our 20 Regional Centres, which can be found from Aberdeen to Brighton.<\/em><\/p>\n To frontline community groups…6,273 of them including homeless hostels, children’s breakfast clubs, lunch clubs for older people, domestic violence refuges and community caf\u00e9s.<\/em><\/p>\n Last year we redistributed enough food for 28.6 million meals. But it\u2019s about more than meals. The organisations we supply food to are places that provide life changing support, as well as lunch and dinner.<\/em><\/p>\n At St Andrews we have our Fareshare shop every Friday\u00a0 in the main building, where you can purchase items at a reduced cost. We also use the products received to support families in the local community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FareShare is a charity network aimed at relieving food poverty and reducing food waste in the UK.
