FareShare Yorkshire

Mo's journey from Iran to Barnsley is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's resilience. Picture the isolation: a new language, a foreign accent, and the weight of providing for his family in an unfamiliar land. Mo, a qualified driver, faced a wall of obstacles. Yet, amidst the challenges, he found support, a lifeline from the Refugee Council and a dedicated volunteer named Andy who introduced him to us. This story isn't just about finding a job; it's about restoring dignity and enabling someone to contribute their talents. Mo is now a valued member of our team, and a contributor to the local economy. Mo's story is a powerful illustration of the impact we can have when we choose to see the person, not the circumstance. It's a reminder that investing in people creates ripples of positive change that benefit everyone. #charity #Yorkshire #fullcrumb #skills https://lnkd.in/eA9s4wfj

Thanks to our volunteers from Minster Law today. Without regular help from organisations like them, we would seriously struggle to get food out to all of our communities. Why does it matter? Nearly 400 community groups from pantries to school breakfast clubs, use our service to ensure great quality surplus food doesn’t go to waste. It’s more than just food. #charity #food #Yorkshire

The ongoing support from partners like Yorkshire Building Society makes a huge difference. Thank you team YBS 💚 . We can't do our work without them. Interested in being part of a charity that so far this month has distributed the equivalent of 160,000 meals into communities in our region? Drop us a DM. #socialvalue #Yorkshire #community

Thank you Authenticate and Gareth Jones for supporting us here at FareShare Yorkshire. Good luck with the three peaks. We really appreciated the support of you and all our partners in using food surplus to combat Food Poverty/Insecurity and hunger.

Sharing the 💚 today. Partners, volunteers, team members. We can’t support communities without you. #charity #fareshare #grateful

We are so incredibly grateful for Yorkshire Building Society for their support. The difference being part of our employability scheme makes to people, at a time when they need support, is truly inspirational. This is truly the power of partnerships. Thanks so much YBS. 💚

Did you see Look North on Wednesday? Our deputy CEO Jonathan Williams FRSA spoke to Isabella a BBC Yorkshire Young reporter about surplus food and our work. She also visited one of our community food partners FoodCycle to see the impact that availability of fresh food has for people. They run 9 community meal projects bringing attendees together for a nutritious meal and some company. #charity #food #community Read the article on the link https://lnkd.in/eT_Zvpxx

💥The power of people! 30 corporate volunteers spent Friday morning with us to sort this huge delivery from Marks and Spencer. A huge 7-8 Tonnes was organised into smaller trays to provide a steady supply of quality food to our community food partners. It was a massive effort with volunteers from LV=, Network Rail, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Department of Transport and Planning, Balfour Beatty plc and Axiologik, all working extremely hard. Our CEO Nathaniel Bee and Deputy CEO Jonathan Williams FRSA also got stuck in with the teams. Thank’s so much to Marks and Spencer and our volunteers for your amazing support. 💚💚 #community #food #Yorkshire
