Do you care about doing something worthwhile with your working day? Are you passionate about supporting people at work and beyond? At FareShare South West, you can make a real difference to the one million people in the south west who are going hungry.
It’s very rewarding and impactful to work here, the sense of social positivity and giving to the community in ways that I never thought would be possible.
FareShare South West joins the dots between food waste and hunger, empowering communities to turn an environmental problem into lasting social good. We rescue tonnes of quality surplus food from the industry and share it with charities and schools to bring health, dignity and routes out of poverty for people across the south west. Our supportive volunteering and employability programmes offer local people the opportunity to thrive.
