Right now, over 1 million people across the south west are living in poverty, while over 4 million tonnes of good-to-eat food is wasted every year across the food industry. That’s enough for 10 billion meals!   

Join team FareShare South West and raise vital funds to help join the dots between food waste and hunger, and transform an environmental problem into social good. 

Saturday 15 March 2025 – Avon Gorge abseil

Join us for an amazing adrenaline adventure at the iconic Avon Gorge in Bristol as you descend 30 meters – the length of two volleyball courts! – with the support of one of the experienced instructors from The Climbing Academy.

Feeling nervous? Why not rope in a friend, colleague or family member to take on this epic challenge with you? There’s no training required, and it’s suitable for anyone aged 10+!

Register your interest using the form below
and Georgia from our fabulous fundraising team will get in touch with all the details on how to pay your £10 registration fee and secure your spot. She’ll also keep you up-to-date with all things fundraising and top tips to help you hit your target of £274 – enough to pay for three meals every day for a year for someone living in food poverty.
