Vacherin kicks off volunteering initiative with Fareshare

We recently held our first Vacherin volunteering day with Fareshare a national UK charity supporting communities to relieve food poverty.

4 of our staff spent the day in Fareshare’s warehouse and then on the road distributing food to those in need in the first of what will be a monthly volunteering day open to any member of staff to join in.

FareShare is at the centre of two of the most urgent issues that face the UK – food poverty and food waste

The charity addresses these issues in three ways:

  • Providing quality food – surplus ‘fit for purpose’ product from the food and drink industry – to organisations working with disadvantaged people in the community
  • Providing training and education around the essential life skills of safe food preparation and nutrition, and warehouse employability training through FareShare’s Eat Well Live Well programme
  • Promoting the message that ‘No Good Food Should Be Wasted’
