Our varied programme of volunteering and engagement activities for our valued partners provide opportunities to support FareShare in a meaningful way, and to learn more about the frontline services we support.
Whether that’s cooking surplus food into nutritious meals at our charities, packing food orders in our warehouses, or helping us to collect more food for those who need it most, there are plenty of ways to donate your time to support our mission.
We couldn’t get food to so many charities and groups without the help of our fantastic volunteers. We would love your help too!
Team volunteering days are part of our wider corporate partnerships and priority is given to our partners who provide broader support to FareShare.
“Everyone had a wonderful and thought-provoking time. It was so humbling to see people of all different backgrounds coming together to support their community, making a difference and helping people.”
– Richard, Volunteer from Nando’s
The range of fun and meaningful corporate volunteering opportunities for teams to get involved in our work are one of the many benefits of a partnership with FareShare.
More than helping to contribute to a positive social and environmental impact, there are plenty of other benefits to volunteering with your team, including:
Team building – volunteering together is a great way to learn more about your colleagues and build stronger relationships.
Learn more about our work – hear more about your organisation’s valuable partnership with FareShare, CSR commitments and the impact of your support.
Feel good factor – volunteering is proven to boost happiness, self confidence and self-esteem!
Learn new skills – try something different to your day job, increase your community awareness or perhaps improve your communication skills
Each hour spent volunteering at our Regional Centres supports us to deliver food for around
196 meals
to a charity.
In an average in-store food collection, you could collect enough food for 600 meals!
Volunteer at the heart of our operations as a Warehouse Assistant, to sort surplus food and prepare deliveries to go to our local charities and community groups.
Spend the day with one of the community charities that receive food from FareShare, volunteering to help the people they serve, including:
Have a truly tangible impact on the most vulnerable people in our communities by volunteering with one of our food collection team days, within your workplace or in your local Tesco store!
Alternatively, engage with Care Parcels for the Community, delivering your collections directly to the local organisations FareShare supports!
Volunteer your skills to support the learners on our regional Employability programmes on their path to employment, providing valuable experience for their future career.
