FareShare North East is a surplus food charity dedicated to eradicating food waste and alleviating food poverty in the North East region. Our mission is to rescue surplus food, ensuring it reaches those in need through a network of charities and community groups.
We are a committed team of over 100 volunteers and staff members working to get nutritious food to those who need it most across Newcastle, Sunderland, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, Northumberland, Durham and Teesside.
FareShare North East would welcome enquires from both food organisations wishing to donate as well as new community projects that would like to receive food.

“Our project has received tremendous support from being a member of FareShare North East. Their aid has allowed us to extend food support to many more individuals and families in need, particularly as the cost of living crisis has escalated. The FareShare North East team have been incredible.”
Embells CIC, Gateshead

“If we didn’t get the food from Fareshare there’s no way we could do our food outreach. We get very little funding and it has to go a long way. The clients are bowled away by the food we give them.”
