FareShare Cymru

Who we are

FareShare Cymru is at the centre of two of the most urgent issues that face the UK – food poverty and food waste.  We are an award-winning independent charity, that is part of the national FareShare UK network of surplus food redistribution charities.   

We turn an environmental problem into a social solution. We source quality surplus food (from food retailers, manufacturers, and suppliers), and engage volunteers to redistribute to local charities and community groups that provide meals to vulnerable people (individuals who are homeless, unemployed, socially isolated, recovering from addictions). Our food is a vital lifeline for children and families, people on low incomes, people who have lost their jobs, the homeless, refugees, domestic abuse survivors, the elderly and key workers.
