We make it easy to redirect your company’s good quality surplus food to the people who need it most.
Diverting your surplus food to frontline charities is much easier than you think
FareShare has 25 years’ experience working with the food industry to safely divert edible surplus through our UK-wide network of frontline charities fighting food poverty.
We’ll work with you to get your food to good causes in a way that’s cost effective and makes sense for your business.
The FareShare Surplus with Purpose Fund* will offset the costs of diverting surplus food to charities, and is open to companies seeking to unlock new or hard to reach surplus food, as well as those that haven’t previously worked with FareShare. Your business could be eligible for up to £50,000** worth of funding (greater sums can be negotiated where appropriate for high volumes of surplus food).
