FareShare UK’s Post

We’re thrilled to announce that after years of dedicated campaigning alongside The Felix Project, the Government’s surplus food fund is becoming a reality! This initiative marks a significant step in tackling food waste on UK farms and ensuring surplus food reaches those who need it most. Collaboration will be vital - working across the food industry, charitable redistribution sector, Government, and farmers - to deliver this scheme effectively and at scale. At FareShare, we know the impact of redistributing surplus food: ✅ Reducing food waste’s environmental impact ✅ Improving food security and access to healthy, nutritious meals ✅ Delivering proven social and economic returns for the Treasury We are pleased to support the government’s Circular Economy Strategy, and are glad that the government has acknowledged the role of surplus redistribution organisations, and the wider charity sector in its development and implementation. It’s key that we act quickly together to launch this scheme in time to maximise the impact of this initiative during the British growing season and to strengthen community ties.
