FareShare and Tesco are celebrating a major milestone this week: through FareShare FoodCloud, our new programme to connect Tesco stores with local charities, an incredible 1 MILLION MEALS have been saved from waste and redistributed to feed people in need right across the UK.

This is a fantastic achievement and we want to say THANKS A MILLION to everyone who has made this possible… and here’s to the next million!

How you can get involved

Download our #thanksamillion certificate  – you can add your own message, and give it to anyone that’s helped make it possible for you to be part of the scheme – perhaps someone at your local Tesco store that arranges your collection each week, a volunteer that goes to pick up the food, or your local FareShare representative that arranged for you to join the scheme

Join the conversation on Twitter – look out for messages of thanks from your local Tesco store, and tweet your thanks using the hashtag #thanksamillion

  • Include any photos you have of the food being collected, cooked or enjoyed – but remember to get permission from anyone that’s in your photo
  • You can tag your Tesco region by including their Twitter handle: @Tesco_Wales @Tesco_Scotland @Tesco_London @Tesco_NIreland @Tesco_North @Tesco_SouthEast @Tesco_SouthWest @Tesco_Midlands @Tesco_EastAnglia
  • If you’d like to tag your local store, you can ask them for their Twitter handle
  • If you have space, please tag @FareShareUK so that we can see your message
