Central and South East Scotland

FareShare Central & South East Scotland is run by Cyrenians Good Food Programme, a social enterprise with a mission to bring good food to people experiencing disadvantage, isolation, poverty or homelessness. The team redistributes good quality food from the food industry to a wide range of grassroots organisations in the Central & South East Scotland area who provide food and support to vulnerable people.

Every year we redirect over 2 million meals-worth of good-to-eat, surplus food from landfill, reducing hunger and supporting over 170 projects and services to bring people together through lunch clubs, breakfast clubs, pantries and other community food initiatives.

Cyrenians Good Food is an accredited Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland Centre and offers a range of training including:

  • Elementary Food Hygiene
  • Elementary Cooking Skills
  • Good Food Good Health Joint Award: training support workers to teach clients food skills for independent living

Discounted rates are available to CFMs for training.
