FareShare Sussex & Surrey – No Good Food Should Go To Waste!
FareShare Sussex & Surrey were thrilled to host the High Sheriff of Surrey at their Guildford Depot on a recent visit. The visit was an opportunity to share the work of FareShare to redistribute food waste from all parts of the food industry to a network of 140 charities and community groups. These savings enable charities to invest precious funds into other key areas of work whilst receiving varied, quality food each week.
The High Sheriff said of his visit “The issue of food waste is one of my key focus areas during my term as High Sheriff and I was very impressed and encourgaged by the operation at FareShare Sussex and Surrey. On a national level FareShare have redistributed 56,000 tonnes of food during 2023-24, helping around one million people as well as the environment. It is great to see such charities thriving and changing the way we think food wise in order to help combat hunger and improve the health of the planet for future generations.”
FareShare is the UK’s longest running food redistribution charity. They were born out of the belief that no good food should go to waste, especially when people are going hungry. This belief is as central to their work now as it was 25 years ago.
Also in the picture are Claire Hopkins and Andrew Osbourne from Surrey Charity – “Surplus to Supper’, another organisation with a common interest in food redistribution.
