Wanted Not Wasted - Using surplus food to deliver social change - Project

Project overview

This charity will use the funding to transform people's lives through food across the UK. With 270,000 tonnes of edible food being destroyed every year, FareShare delivered good surplus food to almost 7,000 charities and community groups in 2017. This funding will enable the charity to expand its work across its regional centres, saving more edible food in order to distribute to more charities and community groups. The food will be used to bring people together, build relationships and reduce loneliness.
