Why support FareShare South West? Because together, we can be part of better.

Our vision is a future where no food is wasted and all people can thrive.

At FareShare South West we join the dots between food waste and hunger, empowering communities to turn an environmental problem into lasting social good. 

What sings out from these pages is the power of food. Inside this report for 2024 to 2025, you’ll discover: 

  • How a homelessness charity uses our food to provide nutritious meals and cooking sessions for people with complex needs  
  • Why a focus on food is key to helping people improve their lives after brain injury 
  • The power of good nutrition in supporting young people turn their lives around 
  • Our ambitious plans for FareShare South West – and how you can be part of better
