FareShare Midlands is the region’s largest food redistribution charity.

At FareShare Midlands, we harness the power of food to change lives. We rescue good-to-eat surplus food from across the food industry and ensure it reaches people facing food insecurity, rather than going to waste – turning an environmental challenge into a social solution.

Last year, we redistributed over 5,000 tonnes of surplus food from our warehouses in Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham – the equivalent of around 11 million meals. This food is sorted by our dedicated teams of staff and volunteers, then delivered to more than 650 charity and community group members across the Midlands, supporting around 60,000 people every week.

Our members transform this food into nutritious meals, affordable shopping and food parcels for people of all ages experiencing challenging circumstances.

FareShare Midlands does more than provide food

FareShare Midlands strengthens communities by empowering people through volunteering, training, work experience and our SkillsShare personal development programmes. To date, we’ve supported over 2,000 individuals on their journey towards employment and a more secure future.

FareShare Midlands is an environmental charity with a social mission – tackling hunger, inequality and climate change through surplus food redistribution. With demand higher than ever, we rely on donors and volunteers.

Together, we can fight hunger, reduce waste and transform lives across the Midlands.
