How We Look After Your Food

Food safety, full traceability and compliance is at the core of the FareShare operating model.

Retailer Authorisations

FareShare has authorisation from all major retailers to redistribute their own label products made by manufacturers.

Who We Work With

We work with over 500 food companies, from suppliers and manufacturers to retailers, to redistribute their surplus for social good.

*Any financial contribution made by FareShare towards the cost of surplus food redistribution is subject to negotiation and final agreement of the value in writing between FareShare and the recipient.

*Defra has provided a grant of £1.9 million towards this fund, as part of their £15 million scheme launched in January by Environment Secretary Michael Gove, to help redistribution organisations across England to help overcome barriers to getting food currently going to waste onto people’s plates
