“The challenge made me think what I could do with all my ingredients. I would never have known that I could make banana tea with peel and I now know how to make vegetable stock with all my veggie scraps. It’s been a rewarding experience.”
FareShare is challenging you to zero food waste this November. By raising money through this challenge, you’ll be helping us to fight food waste across the UK and stop people going hungry. We know this challenge is a tough one, but you can adapt how far you take it to suit your situation and goals.
The challenge is to generate absolutely zero food waste. From banana skins to broccoli stems, as little as possible should make it to the bin.

From using scraps to make stock, freezing spare ingredients, or using some food items in other ways like compost, there are many ways you can reduce your food waste at home. We know this is a tough challenge, but for every £1 you raise, we can deliver five meals to people who desperately need our help. Commit to two weeks or one month waste-free – but remember that you can always take a day off. Waste less and give more, but make it manageable for you!
Yes, of course. Whether you take part solo or as a team, family or household we’ll be there to give you tips every step of the way.
It’s simple. Make sure you finish everything that’s on your plate. If there are any leftovers why not ask for a takeaway box? You can always donate £5 to your page if you need a day off.
The easiest way to collect donations is to set up a fundraising page via JustGiving. Check out our helpful guide.
