Rescuing, retrieving and circulating surplus food is already a huge logistical operation.
Behind the scenes, the FareShare network coordinates the collection and distribution of food resources, connecting fields, factories and community organisations. But our current capacity is stretched and in order to take advantage of the additional food sources we are working to unlock, we need to boost this key infrastructure.
Through the Coronation Food Project, our aim is to create up to ten Coronation Food Hubs across the UK, to add significant additional capacity to the food redistribution sector.
Through transformational investment from a range of funding partners, we plan to add significant scale and capacity to our redistribution warehouses, fridges, freezers, to create training kitchens and on-site culinary facilities, and to fund lorries, vans and drivers.
New Hubs in Merseyside and South London were officially opened on November 14th 2024 and we plan to open three more sites in 2025.
We are extremely grateful for the generosity of our incredible funding partners, such as Steve Morgan Foundation in Merseyside, who are providing the investment we need to transform our vital infrastructure and supercharge the redistribution of good to eat surplus food across the UK.
If you would like to find out how your funding can support the transformation of food redistribution premises across the UK, including in your local area, please email ceo@fareshare.org.uk
