An Encouraging Update from FareShare.

You may have read my blog earlier this month about our visit to the Fareshare facility in Guildford – a vital service that provides food supplies to charities in the Guildford area. They have just forwarded me their recently published impact report which contains some encouraging figures which I thought I would share with you – you can find out more about FareShare which serves three southern counties at: https://fareshare.org.uk

In Surrey last year, FareShare Sussex & Surrey served 60 different charities and community groups who received food totalling 802 tonnes, feeding 6,900 weekly beneficiaries, and saving charities £5,040,744 in food costs.

Across the three counties, FareShare Sussex & Surrey served 248 different charities and community groups who received food totalling 2,651 tonnes!. This equates to 6.26 million meals which fed 28,520 weekly beneficiaries, saving charities £16,537,824 in food costs

2,422 tonnes of Co2 were also saved and 728 different volunteers donated a total of 32,963 hours!

I think you will agree that FareShare are doing an incredible job and not only helping to eradicate hunger in the UK. They are also doing more than their bit to help the environment. A big thank you must go to the volunteers too.
