FareShare exists not only to combat food poverty but also food waste. One in six people in the UK – including 3 million children1 – are living in food insecurity, while good-to-eat, surplus food goes to waste. It doesn’t have to be this way. Not today and not tomorrow.
When you leave a gift in your Will to FareShare, you’ll help to ensure the future of all our work in the UK: getting surplus food to the people who really need it.
Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to FareShare. Every gift means that we can redistribute even more food to charities and community groups that can turn it into nourishing meals, meaning less hunger and less waste.
Gifts of any size make a huge impact to our work, as for every £1 donated, we are able to redistribute five meals. So, a gift in your Will of even £2,000 could help to redistribute 10,000 meals.
It can take less time than you might think to write a Will. Or if you already have a Will, a solicitor can amend it by adding what is called a codicil. We always recommend that you seek legal advice concerning your Will.
There are different types of gifts you can leave in your Will, including:

The HMRC website might be a useful resource with regards to understanding inheritance tax and how leaving a gift in your Will to charity could help reduce liability.
