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’
