Diversity and Equality statement

25 October 2023

At Fareshare UK, we firmly believe that a diverse and inclusive community is not only desirable but essential to fulfilling our mission of combatting food waste.

Our commitment is resolute: we aspire to build communities where every individual can authentically be themselves, harnessing their unique skills, ideas, and experiences. We champion equity and opportunities for all, regardless of their background, and pledge to actively challenge bias and discrimination. Fareshare, embraces everyone, regardless of who they are and encourage you to be your best self, daily.

In addition to our dedication to diversity and inclusion, we are equally committed to ensuring that everyone, irrespective of their background, has access to safe, nutritious food. Collaborating with community organisations, we tirelessly distribute food to those in need and advocate for policies that promote food equity.

We firmly believe that by uniting individuals with diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences, we can foster a more innovative and effective organisation that is better equipped to understand and address the unique needs of the communities we serve.

In line with these beliefs, our commitments include:

  • A Diverse Workforce: We aim to recruit and retain a workforce that mirrors the diverse communities we serve.
  • An Inclusive Environment: We’re focused on building a place where everyone can express themselves freely and use their unique skills and experiences to make a difference.
  • Equal Opportunity: We actively promote equity and opportunities for all, extending to employee’s volunteers and the community, regardless of their background.
  • Combatting Bias and Discrimination: We take a proactive stance in valuing lived experience and challenging bias and discrimination whenever and wherever it arises.
  • Equity in Food Distribution: We are firm in our commitment to ensuring that every individual, regardless of their background, has access to good, nutritious food. In addition, we will make sure that everyone can participate in our mission to combat these pressing issues.

We encourage all to get involved in Fareshare UK's fight against food waste, maximising its impact on society and reducing food poverty. Together, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone can thrive.

CEO quote: 

“The best organisations are the ones that are most inclusive, in every sense of the word. Inclusiveness isn’t just a moral imperative. Encouraging and supporting everyone to make their full contribution and fulfil their potential is at the heart of truly great performance. Our mission demands no less, and I personally welcome everyone to join us in pursuit of it, no matter their background.”
