About us
Who we are
FareShare North East is one of 21 regional centres that make up FareShare UK, a network of charitable food redistributors. Last year, FareShare North East saved over 2,021 tonnes of good surplus food from right across the food supply chain and redistributed it to over 326 charities and community groups.
These charities provide meals as part of their services to people in need – including breakfast clubs for disadvantaged children, homeless hostels, luncheon clubs for older people and domestic violence refuges. In 2020/21 we provided enough food for over 4.8 million meals.
