About FareShare South West
FareShare South West is part of the national FareShare UK network of surplus food redistribution charities. We fight food poverty by tackling food waste. We source quality surplus food – from food retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers – and engage volunteers to redistribute that food to local charities, schools and community groups that provide meals to people facing food insecurity. Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly, and keyworkers.
“I started as a volunteer. I like giving something back. It’s something really meaningful and purposeful.”
