FareShare is a charity network established in 1994 that aims to relieve food poverty and reduce food waste in the United Kingdom. It does this by obtaining good-quality surplus food from the food industry that would otherwise have gone to waste and sending it to frontline charities and community groups across the UK.
FareShare works with all sectors of the supply chain, including producers, manufacturers, and retailers. Several major UK food retailers have encouraged their suppliers to work with FareShare to minimise food waste.
